yea well ill probably get some corals when i start saving some money or find some pretty cheap ones and rotary you really love gobys dont you?
Gobies work in a small tank, I'm not going to recommend a tang or grouper lol... If it were a 135, I'd be pushing a red sea regal angel and an aussie harlequin tusk, but this is a nano.

no. not even softies. 17watt for a 20g your doing 0.85 watts per gallon. if you wanna keep hammer, frogspawn, and candy corals you need to do atleast 2.50watts per gallon or more. and and dont get 50/50 lights. get 1 daylight 10k and 1 actinic blue and your ready for corals. i believe 50/50 suck really bad.
