20G Long Need Advice

[Lpabsolute]

Hey guys...Getting ready to start up a 20g long tank. Looking for any advice on how to stock the tank. This will be my second tank and will be going beside my computer desk. Any advice?

Mmm.. maybe only a pair of clownfish,
Or a gramma and a goby.
Will it have corals???

I wouldnt set up next to your computer. I have done this and your computer wont be very happy a year fom now.
definitely a pair of clownfish, royal gramma, and skunk cleaner shrimp

stykthyn - Why not set it up on my computer desk? Thinking about one clown, pipefish, and a cleaner shrimp.

LaloV. - Yes, it will have corals...

I had one next to my computer and the humidy/salt in the air did horrible things to the insides of my computer. If you do put it there I would open the computer at least once a week and blow it out, wipe down as best you can to prevent contamination and corrosion. I was able to save the motherboard and processor, but the inside of the case, fans and powersource had some sever rust issues. I didnt notice till one of my fans failed. I was like "no big deal" I opened it to replace the fan and was appalled at what was going on in there.

Avoid putting it next to the computer.

As for stocking - a small damsel (yellowbelly, yellowtail, etc) orchid dottyback, sixline wrasse and a few shrimp (blood, peppermint, etc.) and crabs (hermit, emerald, etc.).
