Hi
after many years of wanting to keep a tank i finally took the plunge, and brought a 19g tank i have just placed the 7.2ks live rock in and I seem to be doing far too many nervous tests at the monent ph etc.
the question; how to stock the tank, in three weeks or so providing all is well i plan to add the following
Metallic Blue Hermits x 2
Fire Shrimp x2
Turbo Snails
and for my fish i would like to add (when the time is right)
Percula clown x2
and a Malu Clown Anemone
firstly, am i taking on two much (size of tank considered)
are these choices compatible
is their anything that i should be aware of with the above list.

p.s. this is a fantastic site i have gained a wealth of knowledge from it so far to turn my vision into a reality in my own front room.

1 snail per gallon is a good rule to follow. (what can i say...i love snails) A few Nassarius, Astraea and some Ceriths will compliment your turbos.

You will want to watch how big your clowns get. 2 might be pushing it in a 19g but the anemone will need to wait quite a while before being added.

:welcome to the board!

Your plan sounds pretty good but as mentioned you want the tank running smoothly for at least 6 months before trying to add an anemone. You also didn't mention what kind of lighting you have, an anemone needs very high lighting in order to survive.
