What Clowns Should I put in a 20g?

[SWaquariast]

I set up a 20g aquarium about 4weeks ago. It has 20lbs live sand, 10lbs rock, Maxi Jet 400, Prizm Deluxe Skimmer, and a Penguin BIO-Wheel 200. I am getting T-5 fixtures, don't know what ones yet.

For live stock I have 2 green chromis(for cycling), 5 blue legged hermits, 5 astrea snails, 5 nassarius snails, and a red footed conch. I am going to house it with a sebae nem, yellow watchman goby, and a pistol shrimp.

My parameters:
pH-8.2
Amonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-10


I was thinking about some Pink Skunks, or some percula clowns.

very cruel and inhumane to cycle tank with fish...your live rock would have sufficed..as for clowns i would go with ocellaris or percula...

i am not sure how big the pink skunks get...

a 20 gallon may be a little small for a crispa too..do you have a sump to help with water volume/quality?

I would go with a BTA rather than a sebae, if i were you. You will want to wait several months so the tank is well settled in before adding an anemone.

you asked what clowns so ill answer. I think you should go with the pink skunks they are really not aggressive and i think a lor more friendly

A. Ocellaris, or A. percula...maybe pink skunks, but IMO most other species are too large/active to be housed in a 20g when fully grown.

Really that tank isn't anywhere near proper setup for a nem yet, and especially a sebae.
You really should lose the biowheel, increase light, add at least 10lbs more LR, and give at least a few more months.
I don't advise using any damsel to cycle tank either.
Min 3mo more, and should really wait longer, and even then a BTA would best suit you.

I am waiting another month to get the nem and clowns. Then when I am ready to get the nem, I am getting a T-5 fixture. Also the chromis I put in (to get my bio load going) are not suffering at all I added them 2 days ago and my aquarium all ready went through a cycle and the aquarium is at 5 weeks old.
