Ok my SW tank has been setup for about 4 months now. I have a Clown and several snails and hermits. I had a six line but he thought the outside of the tank was preferable so he jumped out and died, and my cleaner shrimp dissappeared the week I went on vacation (My autofeeder closed so I can only assume natural selection took place in this instance)

Now I plan on doing a good goby pistol shrimp combo and maybe start getting into soft corals. So I decided I will turn an old AC70 into a fuge. I have seen the many ways to do so online and am getting the silicone tonight to make the necessary changes.

I do have a question though, I wanted to add some chromis perhaps to the tank. Would I be able to after adding the shrimp goby combo along with the existing clown?

Attached files are of the tank its a 20g long Skimmer in the middle and 35 pounds of live rock.

nice looking tank chromis will be fine with the clown and goby shrimp combo.

Gonna dissagree there ( just my opinion of course )...Chromis are a bad idea unless you can add a large school of these, 10 -12 in ammount..Chromis dont do well in small groups which is widely documented and seen first hand in their natural habitat while out diving....This is based on my own opinion and experience..
 
I've never had any issue's with chormis being aggressive or causing issue's from my 15 years in the hobby from breeding them for MOFIB to research and etc... But every fish has it's own disposition but I have 2 chromis in a tank with a mated pair of yellow watchman gobies and there tiger pistol shrimp never had an issue.
