New to saltwater, but not aquariums - Is this stocking okay?

[James Black]

Hey everyone,
I have been a freshwater nerd for a while now, but I think its time I dip my toes in the saltwater hobby.
I want to setup a 20 gallon long nano reef. Do you think these stocking plans are okay? I know that you can add a lot more fish in freshwater then in saltwater.
-Clownfish (probably the regular occalarie or the flurry)
-Bonsai Cardinals
-Watchman Goby
-Shrimp
Thanks for any help

Welcome!
That sounds fun! You should look into firefish! Nice and active little guys, and really easy to keep alive!

Do you think I could do firefish with this current stocking?

I think so, as they shouldn’t get into much trouble with anything.

6 lines are jerks. Maybe a long nose hawlks fish. Scooter blennys are my favorite fish along with clown. Could get a dotty back. Blue green chromis are cool but a schooling fish o get 3 min. Just some suggestion. Personally I roll the dice and no lid it. But have had to toss a fish or two back in the tank. No fatalities thankfully
