Ok Guys, here is what I got.
20 Gal
2 65W PC with moon lite
Lots of LR and LS
Power head for water movement with diy spay bar (not the best looking thing but moves the water around)
Penguin without the bio-wheel for water movement and to hold the carbon that I run for more or less a week every month
2 clown fish (percula)
1 fire shrimp
1 green crab
blue legs hermits (6-8) and snails (4)
Water:
Ph- 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 0
Cal 400
I'd like to have some corals, but was wondering if I got enough light. I'd like also to get an idea of the type of corals that can be housed in my tank (if possible).
Having a little problem with hair algae, so I'm thinking on adding a lawnmower blennie, is it posible ?? one of the clowns has been with me since the beggining (Aug-2001) the other for about year and a half, both are small.
Thanks.
:)

You can get xenia, zoos, leathers, mushrooms, and if you put them at the top, some lps like bubbles, frogspawn, hammers, etc.
IMHO, do not the the lawnmower blenny. The tank is too small for the 3 fish. Are those perculas a mated pair?
Where do you get your water from? R/O water, or is it from the tap? Tap water contains phosphates that promotes algea growth.
