everything depends on your filtration,, How much Live Rock & Live sand do you have, do you just have a biowheel or a sump? WHat fish appeal to you? There is a big difference between freshwater and saltwater 'amount of fish per gallon' Saltwater really doesnt have a specific SIZE you can equate to. Its more of the specific fish and its requirements. For example I have a 150 w/ 8 fish (my 8 fish create a huge bio-load) I could easily go with 30 smaller fish that arent as messy,,,, It all depends

well, you could have the clown(s), maybe butterfly (make sure its not a sponge specific eater), a goby or 2. But the foxface & tangs would get to big, and you really dont have the filtration to have too many fish. maybe dwarf angel and a smaller hawkfish. Thats about your limit. How much Live rock and sand are you planning on having in the tank?

best would be to do a sump 20g ish and about 50-75 lbs of lr. crushed coral base really does nothing for you, live sand helps with nitrification, argonite helps as a buffer, but CC just needs to be cleaned constantly. BUT, what i would do if i were you is add 75lbs of LR, maybe put another biowheel on it and a powerhead to make sure you dont have any dead spots in the water flow and do 2 clowns (anything but maroons), a dwarf angel, a longnose hawk, a diamond goby, a midas blenny and maybe 3 bangaii cardinals (if you like them). but only if you have the added filtration and make sure to stay ontop of your water changes....What kind of lights do you have,, were you thinking of a anemone?
