Stocking suggestions


Looking for suggestions for my 20g. Atm I have 1 small false percula. In the next few days I expect to have my DIY 20gal sump & protein skimmer running. After its up I plan to start with 1-2 easy corals.

I was thinking of adding a second clown. Then 1-2 more fish and thats it. I have intreast in Blennies and Gobbies . I really liked the lawnmower blennies but my clean up crew seems to keep my alge in check pretty good. So i dont know if he will have enough to snack on.

I am open to suggestions. Also I dont run with a glass top (using a hob filter for active carbon) so jumping fish might not be a good idea. I may add a glass top in the near future though. If they sift sand thats a plus since my clean up crew are slack and dont do a good job...
... mental note to fire some of them.

Watchman Goby and a pistol shrimp pair would get my vote.

AVOID THE GLASS TOP!

Those things are bad news. They hold in heat, and are prone to cracking and sometimes shattering (imagine having to fish out shards of glass). If you want to add a cover, get some eggcrate louver from home depot (it's a plastic grating that is usually used for drop ceiling fluorescent lighting) and cut it to fit.

As for stocking:

I like the look of court jester gobies, although I haven't heard much about their behavior(supposed to be reef safe) Oh, and check out royal gramma basslets, they're gorgeous, mild mannered and very hardy.

definitely go with some sort of blennie. They're just the cutest/funniest/etc critters. Almost all of them are LOADED with personality.
