Hello everyone!
I’m new to the saltwater hobby but I do have experience with freshwater for over 20 years.

so I got myself a waterbox cube 20 about 4 months ago.
My current stock list

2 clownfish
2 blue legged hermits
2 scarlet hermits
4 trochus snails

corals
-purple pulsing xenia
-orange mushroom (now three)
-fox coral
-neon hammer
-acan
-frogspawn

I plan to add some a few more corals such as candy cane and Duncan. Should I had some more snails such as cerith?

for fish I would like to know if it’s okay to add a green clown goby and a pink streaked wrasse? Or a green clown goby and a royal gramma? If that would not be too much on the bio load.

Also my tank is rimless and I read about these other fish might jump out. Just wondering if anyone has had that issue? I do like the rimless look but I did see some places have nice custom top.

thank you

You should be fine with the increased bioload and fish you wish to add. The Goby and possibly the Wrasse have the potential to jump so keep that in mind.
Cerith snails are my favorite and they are hardier than most snail species. Moreover, they can right themselves if they fall or get turned over unlike Turbo’s and similar Snails.
 
Personal I’d just pick one more fish I do t like a ton of fish in a small tank. But if you do water changes and have good filtration you could do it.

Thanks for your reply! I’m thinking of the pink streaked wrasse as I can probably see it more then the goby

Thanks for your reply! I’ll get some cerith snails. Thinking of pink streaked wrasse over the goby for now.
 
Tanks looking good! I have 3 cerith snails in my tank and they are doing a great job at keeping my sandbed clean.
