girl friends done aqua scaping

so shes seems to be done moving stuff around "for now".....but here is what it looks like i definatly need more live rock now that its a 20 gallon tank......and i think better filtration all that is running is the whisper 60/fug......let me know what ya think suggestions......if u can id the coral that bee awesome as well

This is what i think...
Since it is a 20 gallon, there should be between 20 and 40 pounds of live rock in there. If there were, you would not need any filtration at all just flow. With those coral 20x-30x and hour should be ok. 20x20 = 400GPH 20x30=600GPH. I would try to get 2 300gph powerheads the additional live rock and remove the filter pads from the whisper. You can leave the algae in there and keep it running. Most lfs sell rubble rock...I would fill up the other side of the whisper with that as well.

Looking good. How old is the tank now? Levels all going good?
The shrimp in there is actualy a coral banded shrimp.
And you were right on coral names.
