Wow! looks like it is going well!

 

first of all Hello and welcome!!

thw scape and the rock work looks great and I am glad you decided to do salt water

there are a couple of things I want to bring to you attention to try and help you...

the flame angel will out grow the tank and will do it really quickly
Flame Angelfish

the scooter will also be hard to care for because of its feeding habits the are dragonet
Scooter Blenny, Ocelatted Dragonet, Scooter Dragonet, Synchiropus ocellatus

the lobster will get WAY to big and eat all of your fish

your tank is also new so you have to really watch you levels to make sure that you dont have a die off and so that the ammonia dosent get to high.

the dotty damsel are fine for you tank the clown might be a 50/50 but all three of them in the tank at the same time dosent sound like a good idea to me.

hope this helps and sorry if I make you mad.

 

awww crap i thought i was doing good... thanks for the heads up

 

I have tried keeping a dragonet in my 20 gallon and have failed miserably I just dont want to see you make the same mistakes.

also watch out for the LFS they will sell/suggest the wrong fish and corals to make a quick buck vs what you can actually keep.

if you hav questions about any saltwater stuff its probably on this forum and has been done or tried before all you got to do is ask ;D

 

heres a great link on here to learn more
