My name is Marcus. I have always loved the sea life. Use to go all the time when I lived in cali. I am setting up a 20 gallon nano fusion premium tank. What kind of coral or fish should I put in it?

Welcome. :)

Clowns, other Damsels, Gobies (not sand sifting) Royal Gramma, Cardinals, Chalk Bass. I have a twenty with two fish.

For corals you're limited by the lighting type, filtration and nutrient export that you set up. You can start with some Corallimorphs/Mushrooms, Zoanthids, Acans....or soft corals such as Capnella, Sinularia, Sarcophyton.

Welcome! A clownfish or two would be ok. What kind of lights are you planning to have? That will determine to a large degree the corals you can get.

First off, Welcome! [emoji92]

I'm a noob, so I won't be giving you any advice until I'm more sure of myself.

But I have a pink spotted watchman goby and a Lawnmower Blenny. The watchman is not beneficial to the tank, but he's fun to watch. And I love the Blenny because he's awesome. Love watching him forage. Plus both of their faces are just awesome. [emoji1]

I have more fish than that, but those two are my favorite to watch. [emoji102]

Welcome to R2R! I agree with above and KJ posted a good link to a forum for nanos. Check it out! Also make sure to create a tank thread for your tank so we can follow along!

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
