Hello everyone,
I have started up a 20 Gallon Long tank a few months ago that is doing great. I have about 25-30 lbs of live rock, 15 lbs of sand, a SunSun Hw302 264GPH Pro Canister Filter, "Lee's" Protein skimmer, a SunSun JVP-110 528-GPH wavemaker for some extra current, a PVC pipe hidden amongst the live rock and some chaeto that I scattered between some of the live rock for extra filtration and to lower nitrates (I don't have a refugium or sump....yet). The inhabitants included around 10 different snails, 10 different hermit crabs, a chocolate chip starfish and a juvenile snowflake moray eel, around 7'-8'.
The reason I am creating this thread is to see what fish I could possibly add to this setup. First, let me say I am well aware the SFE will outgrow a 20 Gallon long in the future, which is why I purchased the smallest snowflake I could find so I have a decent amount of time before an upgrade. My plan was to upgrade to a 40 Gallon Long, a 50 or 55 and use the current 20 Gallon Long as a sump. Of course, I do not want to make the mistake plenty of beginners make by stocking their current tank based on what they are planning in the future, especially since I don't plan on upgrading for at least a year. I wanted 1-2 other fish max. I have visited or called around 5-6 LFS around me, and have been suggested a variety of different fish including Toby puffers, a coral beauty angel (or any other dwarf angel), a maroon or tomato clownfish, a dwarf lionfish, triggers and tangs. I'm pretty sure based on what I know a trigger or tang would quickly outgrow a 55 Gallon, so I can only imagine how quickly it would outgrow my 20 gallon long. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially those who have kept a snowflake moray in a community tank or are highly knowledgeable in this area.
