AC20 would be enough flow or even if you can get your hands on a small AquaC Remora HOB protein skimmer that would be good... but for a 4 gallon idk what the dimensions are or what you can even fit on it but i'm sure you know this already but make sure you keep the water topped off like multiple times a day ahaha with a 4 gallon tank 10 lbs of live sand and 5 lbs of live rock you'll probably only have like 3 gallons of water.. Going to be really hard for a FIRST SW tank. And honestly I don't think a yellow watchman goby will be to big they get about 3-3.5 inches... along with a pistol shrimp might just not be enough room. If you could get your hands on something bigger like even a 10 gallon you'd be a lot better off!
It's 13,5 inchs long 8 inches wide and 9 inchs tall
I do have a 10 gal tank I can use but I had my hart set in this tank for some reason as its more attractive. Idk if I cycled this small tank and then decided I want the 10 could I just put every thing in the 10 and it would be pretty much cycled? The filter the rock the sand the water. Just the tank glad would have no Bb but would I have to wait another 2 weeks?

Don't waste your time. It will not work. 10 lbs of rock is WAY too much. 100gph of flow is too much. Is this your first tank? You parameters are going to be so hard to keep in check
