All right everyone im looking for some help and opinions. As the title says im looking at stocking my 20 long. How ever im looking at stocking fairly heavy so I want to make sure im not missing anything with tempermants and so fourth. This is a 20 long with about another 20 gallons in the sump. My filtration is plenty big I have about 30lbs of sand 18 pounds of rock in the tank with another 10 or so pounds in the sump. This will have a refugium with cheato. I also have a skimmer rated for 300 gallons (yes I know its over kill but its what I already had in the closet). Now I am looking to get a few corals things like gsp, and some zoas. Nothing to crazy. So help me out or just simply reel me back in and say I dont think thats such a great idea.

My thoughts are:

1- clown (kids have to have it)
1- possum wrasse
1- pink streaked wrasse
1-tailspot blenny
1-firefish goby
1-talbots damsel (is there risk with this guy)

So everyone let me know what you think, what you would take out add. Any other ideas are welcome im really looking for diversity but at the same time want to keep them all happy.

If it were me I would ax the last two...... just an opinion. :)

the kids will enjoy watching the Blenny poke in and out of holes.

So you think both wrasses would be fine? Im newer to the wrasse seen my dad was a huge angel fan so growing up thats all i knew haha but im really digging wrasses and whenI found out there was a few I could make work in a 20 I was stoked haha and its funny you say that because thats the very reason my kids chose a blenny! I just happend to decide which one and im leaning towards the tailspot

The pink streaked is likely to be the most timid of the bunch. You could add it first if you were worried.
