Almost 2 years in the hobby! Still got lot more to learn!
Upgraded my 10gal aio few month ago to the RedSea reefer nano 20gal. So far so good. Only got 2 clown right now, had to sell the aggressive six line wrasse last month (it murdered my tailspot).

Any recommendations for adding more functional fish? I need it to eat worms/ algae. So any wrasse that’s not aggressive? Or tangs Also I need some advice on the cleanup crew that eats hairy algae (don’t like crab or anything that like to steal food from corals ). I’m thinking getting tailspot, firefish, small blue hippo tang or maybe Lyretail Anthias (I really like how it looks but think it might be too big for a nano tank?) and a quick question how many fish I can add for a 20 gal nano tank. I don’t want to crash and overwhelmed the system. My parameter right now: po4 =0.03 NO3=0. I know the no3 it’s way too low it’s been like that ever since my old tank.

Welcome to the R2R community! I’d not really recommend a wrasse for under 30 gallon long . They generally need a fair amount of roaming space. Maybe a small basslet like a gramma or a chromis or two? Clown goby is good for small spaces as well.
