I have decided to convert my 20g FW to SW. I am leaning towards a 130w (2X65w) PC fixture, what would my limits be for corals with these lights, tank is 15 inches deep.
Live stock will be:
1-royal gramma
1-ocellaris clown
1-yellow watchman
1-orangemarked goby
1-cleaner shrimp
1- sexy shrimp
1- pistol shrimp
Any opinions on the list are welcome, I feel like it might be overstocked. What would be an ideal cleanup crew for this setup?
Thanks for any advice and your opinions.

I'm not positive, but 4 fish may be too much for a 20g. I would ask in the nano forum maybe. Or maybe someone w/more experience w/smaller tanks will respond here.
As far as cleanup crew, maybe 5-10 turbo/astrea snails and 5-10 assorted small hermit crabs would do it.
Have you read up on how to maintain a saltwater aquarium? It sounds like you have, but if not you should read either The New Marine Aquarium or the Conscientious Marine Aquarist. Both are good books w/a lot of insight into the hobby.
