Hey all,

So I'm interested in starting a ~20 gallon reef aquarium. 

I have spent quite a while researching on the internet, as well as hard copies of several books, such as the Marine Aquarium Handbook, and the New Marine Aquarium, to name a few. I think that I have chosen all my desired livestock, which are as follows:

 

Live rock/substrate:

20 lbs. Nano live rock, from Premium Aquatics

15-20 lbs. Aquacultured live sand, from Premium Aquatics

 

Fish:

Fire fish (Nemateleotris magnifier) x1 

Banggai Cardinalfish (Pteropogon kauderni) x1

Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto) x1, respectively.

 

Inverts:

Turban snail (Trochus sp.) x1

Sand snail (Nassarius sp.) x1

Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) x1, respectively.

 

Corals:

One or two varieties of zoanthids

One or two varieties of corallimorphs

One frag of Xenia

One frag of sun coral (Tubastrea sp.)

Some kind of coral that branches, maybe a Montipora

 

If any of you people with experience see any compatibility issues, please correct me in my stocking choices. I'd rather not learn from personal experience.

Thanks.
