Please Help Me........................

I have two North Atlantic starfish in a 20 gallon tank. I would like to add 1 Tiny Blue Tang, 1 Fire Goby, and 1 or 2 Clown fish. Would this be a big enough space? What kind of filter should I get? (the one I have isn't doing very good) How much would eveything cost together?

I would advise against having the blue tang, even if it is tiny. Usually they dont fair well that size. The smaller the blue hippos, they higher death rate they have.

Welcome to the site!
An orchid dottyback, a Royal Gramma (one or the other) or maybe a fairy wrasse would be really pretty with bright color for your size of tank. a Hippo tang needs a 100g tank and they stress very easy and die when they are very small, and even then a tiny needs a 55g. a small space makes them unhappy and adds to their stress, which makes them sick.
A canister filter or a good sized HOB Penguin or Whisper filter...the best would be a sump system. Use 2 nano power heads to create a current in the tank, the wave is the life of the ocean.
A good canister filter, I like Fluval 205 or the HOB will run about $80.00 to $100.00
