Hello everyone! I'm new to the saltwater hobby (transferring over from 8 years of freshwater) and I am getting a new tank (20 gallon). I know that saltwater tanks cannot be stocked as much as freshwater tanks, so this is the setup I picked out so far (for fish) (also I'm planning on keeping a couple of sps corals like green star polyps and leather finger corals)
2 Clownfish (preferably black Ocellaris or snowflake clownfish)
2 mexican turbo snails
1 Tailspot Blenny
1 Skunk cleaner shrimp
I have read mixed things about keeping a pair of clownfish together, so I'm not sure. Also, my filter will be a Sicce/Seachem Tidal 35, I'm not sure about my heater yet (probably the sice jolly), and a protein skimmer (I have a $400 budget for all, so I need a protein skimmer on the cheaper side, but I'm not sure which one yet). I will also be using live rock and sand. Again, I haven't set this up yet as I am still saving, but I like to plan ahead. The cycling process (over summer break) will take 6 weeks (is that good enough?)
Thank you tons and any recommendations will be happily accepted
