ok i started my 20 gallon salt water tank about 3 mounths ago. My filtration only includes a biowheel filter and weekly water changes. The first fish that i put in was a yellow tailed damsal he stayed in there about a mounth before i bought a beautifull dwarf fuzzy lion(about a half inch). I also put in a starfish(im not sure what kind it is,is big and green) All of my fish are doing great they are all eating and seem heathly.Now just today after talking with my fish store I put in a yellow tang. I was just wondering if any one had any oppions on my tank. My tank is now fully stocked.

Hate to tell you this, your tank is now way OVERstocked. Yellow tangs reach the size of salad plates (I've seen them 9" in length, over an inch thick through the middle) and don't belong in tanks less than 4' long IMHO. If you want to keep the lion, I'd return the tang and either the lion or the damsel. If you keep the lion, leave him by himself, if you keep the damsel it might be hard to find tankmates depending on what species it is, but you could try a pair of ocellaris/percula clowns or another damsel.
