20g SW tank options

xrayjeeper83 · Post by **xrayjeeper83** » Sun Aug 21, 2011 12:51 pm

Alright so I got what I thought was a 30g for my gf, got it home did some looking and realized its only a 20. She was disappointed so she went out and got a 29g instead, looked better against the wall she wanted it on(about to start cycling that one FW). So I got her 20g so I can finally start a SW tank. Ive already got a good idea of what I need equipment wise.

So after that rambling now on to my question. If you had a 20g SW tank what would you put in it. Mind that Im not thinking corals of any sort right now cause I cant afford the lights. So wwtpfd.....What would The Puffer Forum Do lol

I has no idea, I've always wanted a Salt water tank, but I can't right now, waiting until I get a house so I can get a huge buttocks tank! Anyway I like firefish and blennys, but I think you can only really hold firefish in a 20G blennys need more space as far as my research has gone. I love Gobies too. You could probably do an orange spotted Goby and some firefish maybe. IDK I am no professional. Maybe a hermit crab or something... I really don't know, but I thought I would reply since you wanted someone to.

If you really want entertainment a Watchman goby and a pistol shrimp is cool ! Maybe 1 more small fish. Depending on your filtration .

Going to be running a Marineland 220 canister with some LR rubble and about 20-25lbs of LR for filtration

And thanks Salmon LOL.

Chuck is that suggestion with some hermits and snails also or just those two?

Yeah hermits and snails are your clean up crew! They will help keep your algae down!

pistol shrimp / goby combo or a peacock mantis shrimp

Regarding the shrimp and goby, there are several symbiotic pairs. You don't HAVE to have a watchman and the the pistol (Alpheus) can be of different kinds also.
