Getting back in after 20 years

Hi everyone. I'm getting back in after 20 years. I loved reefkeeping in college and grad school, but the constant moves sort of did me in.

I rescued my little 20 gallon ******* with a wet dry trickle, pulled the old fluorescent lights, and added a current marine pro to it. I need a protein skimmer, but things are looking good.

Since my filter is built it, I'm not changing it, but what is the standard system now?

I've got a few fish, zoas, one sps frag that was given to me and a few lps. I also have what should be reef friendly critters and a clam.
The critters include
A sea hair
A blood shrimp
A peppermint shrimp that I hadn't seen in three months
An ocilaris clown
A lawnmower goby
A royal gramma
A fire fish
A six line wrasse that is currently hiding or dead, and
A scooter blenny.

The only two problems I seem to have is the blenny hopping all over the clam and making it close, and an Australian elegance that seems to be folding up. It is not pulling away from its skeleton.

All other corals seem to be perfect.

So questions: best current filter setup;
Blenny clam compatibility; unhappy elegance; and what different species can I keep close together. Torch and elegance? Hammer and frogspawn? Anything near the scoly? They are all far enough right now, but considering how well the torch is doing, I'd like to move the elegance next to it.
