I am currently running a 30 gallon FOWLR tank with a rena filstar xp1 filter. I have 2 strong powerheads and a Seaclone skimmer. Currently my livestock consists of 2 percula clowns, 1 banggai cardinal, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 camel shrimp, and 6 hermit crabs. I would like to add a royal gramma and a pajama cardinal. Does this sound ok? Am I able to add anything else? Are snails a must? I would appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks
 
A good rule of thumb for the marine, not reef, is 1" of adult fish per 3 gallons of water. As to whether or not you have to have snail in a fowlr, that is personal choice, could go with urchin. Plus you may be surprised at how many snails you have in the tank right now.
