Hey guys, I'm going to be setting up an IM nuvo 20 tank soon as my first saltwater tank. I have almost all the supplies i need (just missing a few things that are otw), and i wanted to have a general idea of what and how many fish i can comfortably stock in my tank. It's going to be a tabk with various macroalgaes and soft corals like GSP, zoas, leathers, and a kenya tree.

so far the fish i've seen that could probably do well in my size tank are:
-a single clownfish/pair
-yasha goby/candy cane pistol shrimp
-firefish goby (nonnegotiable)
-yellowface pikeblenny
-possum wrasse
-geometric pygmy hawkfish
-barnacle blennies
-yellow clown goby
-green banded goby
-tailspot blenny

-dwarf blue leg hermit crab
-various snails
-blood red fire shrimp or skunk cleaner shrimp

sadly i cant stock my tank with all of these amazing fish/inverts :( But what would you guys recommend for a nice balanced tank? i'm open to other options too, I'd love to hear everyones suggestions!
 
Me personally I would go for the clowns, the yasha goby and the shrimp, and a yellow clown goby.
