How did u get 45 lbs or rock in a 20 gal?
I would not know what order because royal gramma can be terratorial right. Then all the six line wrases i get are evil. So i would think the angle might go first imo.

i hate when cameras make tanks look 2 times bigger then they are because it looks like ur tank is like 40 gallons or something.

true true i could do that but personally i believe
that clowns should have an anenome and im not getting one cuz it would disturb the sps. maybe if i get a frogspawn i might have luck with them hosting it lol

yeh i kind of feel like that too. I took away my clarkii out of my 55 gal with a condi that he loved and i put him in a 30 gal with nothing
my perc loves his frogspwan in my aquapod and he used to host with a creamcrown toadstool.

4 fish in a 20? I would think two would be better and no flame angel, way to big for a 20, I wouldn't put one in my 33 and that's four feet long. Maybe the sixline and royal gramma max. I'd switch the gramma for something more interesting though, most just hover around and don't swim much.

He does have a lot of lr for the angel to pick off of. I do think he might need a little bit of swimming room too though.

how about a flame hawk fish? Or do they need a 30 gal. I have one and i just love he swims around perching and staring at me.

i have a longnose hawk in my 14 i have had him for four years. also i have a flame angel in my 14 for 3 yrs. i have tons of lr and swimming space and hidding spots. a flame will do perfectly fine. if you look in the nano fourms in a 14 they have 2-3. in a 20 and its long 30x12x12 4 is perfectly alright.
