Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and to saltwater but I have kept freshwater fish for a few years. I am going to set up a 20 gallon long reef tank this year with a royal gramma, a pink streaked wrasse, and 2 ocellaris or percula clowns. Is this stocking okay and can someone help me with stocking the CUC and corals?

Can I have a zebra hermit crab, a skunk shrimp, and some trochus snails? How many trochus snails should I have?

Welcome to reef2reef !!!
Maybe different snails like 5 torchus snails, 2 margarita snails, 1 nasurrius snails, possibly a conch to keep the sand bed clean

Welcome to R2R:)!!

Congratulations on stepping in to the saltwater realm.
 
What corals should I have? The light will be a Mars Aqua LED 165w or 300w or a Current USA LED 24-36 inch. Also a question about the filter. I will be using a Fluval Aquaclear 50 or 70 and how should I make a hob fuge for chaeto algae?
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
