Hey everyone- a co-worker of mine has a 20 Gal in his office that has been cycled for aprox. 2 months now. Its got crushed coral substrate and 12-15 pounds live rock from his larger 55 Gal tank at home. All water tests have been good to go. He has experience in SW tanks, just not in a smaller one of this size.
He is interested in some opinions of how to stock this tank. All filtration and water movement is good to go. The tank is in his office so he is wanting some fish (or a fish) that wont be freaked out by people coming in and out. So please, any suggestions will be appreciated and considered.
Thanks alot!!!!!

I would suggest another 15 lbs of live rock, 15 lbs in a 20 gallon isn't gonna be enough filtration.

What do you suggest for a clean up crew? I was thinking 6 blue leggies and 5 asrea snails. And maybe a pencil urchin for looks.
To much or two little.

Since the stocking level will be on the low side, the 15lbs of liverock will actaully be fine. I second the suggestion of the Ocellaris Clowns. They are very easy going and will not freak out with people coming and going.
