new tank

oh i know

it is a 20 gallon high i already tried the nano fission waste of 40 bucks
and about 2 months ago i had a nem die and i know im waiting at least 4 more months even though i have had my ten running for 4 which made up everything on the 20.Filter, rocks, and sand, and everything but i took ten gallons from my dads fowlr. But yea there is an awesome store called reef cheif and another one animal jungle reef chief sells used seaclone 100's for like 50 bucks. but idk if its two much
 
hm

do you think the 2 false percs and 3 green chromis are pushing it with my filtration i have 21 lbs of lr 15 lbs of sand and a biowheel 150 and an aquaclear 20 powerhead and another small 80 gph powerhead
 
any

Suggestions or combinations for a 20g high like fish other then my plans reallly open to anything reef safe. I already have 2 peppermint shrimp 1 blue leg hermit and 3 cerith snails. any other shrimp suggestions and or fish really would like any type of clown as like my base fish so give me some suggestions and im nto worried about money
any skimmer reccomendations?
 
I think

Im going to go with a Tunze reefpack 200 if i get a skimmer at all and stocking 2 peppermint shrimp 1 blue leg hermit 3 cerith snails
2 Perculas or 1 clarkii or 1 maroon or 2 black saddlebacks
and 2 chromis
and some sort of goby a small one
any changes
 
overstock in saltwater tank usually doesn't have to do with filtration. More often than not is not enough territories for all the fish. You can try, but I'm just not sure if 20 gallon will be enough for the fish to co-exist peacefully.

The 6-12 months is not only for the tank itself to mature but for you to have had a chance to successfully stabilize everything in that environment. And yes, I feel that is too much for the Seaclone.

I agree with what JohnLin has said in the post above.

I see you mentioned a Tunze reepack in a later post and I think it is a good choice. You might enjoy skunk cleaners more than peppermints. The skunks don't tend to hide as much, mine are always out front and will glady clean your hands. The peppermints tend to huddle in their caves until cover of night. On the fish, I'd suggest getting the pair of clowns you want (Ocellaris is a good choice in whichever color you like), and then a small but not neccessarily nano sized goby as the clowns will most likely ignore it and the goby will be fun to watch at the bottom.
 
score

Yea, I decided im going to get a skunk cleaner and two false perculas or 2 saddlebacks tomorrow not sure which goby any suggestions also im not going to bother with a skimmer as i think my flow is good and i have pleanty of lr and idk if me getting a skimmer would be a 200 dollar difference p.s. i gave away one of the peppermints my nieghbor wanted him haha
also some pictures of tonight after i got off work looking better already:)

yep

yea there is like 20 lbs in there rit now i plan on getting at least ten more pounds tomorrow if we go to the pet store. If only i was old enough to drive.
Ha but does ten more sound good. Also I about to just forget about getting a nem all together. Just wouldt want another to die so its not going to happen maybesom more yellow polyps there my favorite ha.Im thinking 2 saddlebacks and a goby tomorrow and the cleaner if there cheap.sound good? And if i do go there will definitely be pictures.
 
It is a 20g right? If so and that is 20 pounds of rock it must be dense, which would be likely for the branch pieces. If you get all dense rock you are going to need 2#s per gallon in my opinion. If you mix in some porous rock you can get away with 1 1/2#
