I have a 20 gal with a reg carbon filter, a biocube protien skimmer, nano watercirculator at 240 gph, there is 15lbs of live rock, 20lbs of live sand, 1 sabea anemone, 1 polyp, 3 damsels , 2 snails and 1 percula clown....im wondering if i have a proper set up or if i need to keep upgrading and if im ok what types of cool cleaners can i add to the tank that wont mess with anything in there cuz the snails arnt cuttin it... any advice for a noob is welcome please help

do you have sufficient light for the anenome? If so I would say your tank is fine, you may consider an upgrade as things grow. Save yourself alot of headaches and get rid of the damsels now, depending on what kind they are it could be trouble, they are territorial and aggressive, and will likely harass your clown. you could add some hermit crabs to help with clean up.

Why are the snails not cutting it? Is it a new tank?

 

[snowman7169]
