So I have a 20 gallon long tank with:
2 clownfish
1 smith blenny
1 yellow goby
Strong filtration: HOB, Protein Skimmer, and UV

I want to make tank colorful but also for it to work. I was thinking maybe a royal gramma + 6L wrasse?
Would Love your input and advice thank you!

I would avoid the 6-line. They are very territorial fish. A royal gramma could be fine if you have enough rockwork. They like to have their own little area. Maybe look at a nano fish.

I do have a lot of rock work. What other nano fish would y’all suggest?

That’s already a lot of fish in a 20 gallon tank. Maybe consider adding some red macro algae and gorgonians for additional color and movement. If you insist on adding any more fish they should be super tiny like barnacle blennies.

Also you should have 20+ snails/crabs if you don’t have a cuc. Reefcleaners.org is a good site for cuc.

Also, in 6-12 months you could look at adding an anemone for the clowns.
 

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