So im starting a 12g nano. It will have Aquatic life 115 skimmer. Rox Carbon and BRS GFO. 10-20% water changes every 1-2 weeks without question! It hase 12lbs of marco rocks and 10lbs of petco sand (large grain). Only keeping lots of softies and few LPS. This tank will not have sump. I will be using RO/Di and reef crystals.

For Clean up crew id like

1 emerald crap
1 super tongan nassarius snail (bigger kind) Could get more if need be.
2-3 Trochus snails (could get more if need be)
2 hermits (one red one blue)

There is a mp10 for flow on low setting.

With all that being said. Id like to keep as many fish as possible. Like id really like to push the envelope here. Even if i have to do larger weekly water changes and clean out skimmer daily. I dont care. The more fish (SAFELY) the better. That being said.....

1 False Clown (would like 2 but will do 1 for overstocking fears)
1 six line wrasse
1 yellow clown goby
1 green clown goby
1 neon blue goby (not mandatory but would love to have)
1 Chromis (ive had no luck with this fish, i get 10 and they pick each other off and im left with 1. So im hoping i can keep 1 here but if i must cut corners i'll cut the chomis.)

The Clown wrasse and chromis are 3" max and rest are 1-2". Can i keep em all or will i need to cut some out? Is it just a matter of more elbow grease on my part? Or is it just not possible?
 
I would cut that list down a lot. I can see some aggression issues arising.
 
The six line wrasse is one of the most aggressive wrasses and is quite the bully especially in a small tank. I would stick with a neon goby and a clown in a 12 gallon tank.
