Is my plan good?

[Carissa]

As you may already know but I will repeat this for the sake of this post, I have a 33g fowlr/20g sump tank that currently has 10 nassarius snails, 6 astrea snails, and one lawnmower blenny. I have had the blenny for about 5 weeks and he is doing well and eating well. I did have an ammonia spike of about .25 a few days ago probably due to uneaten food getting sucked into the sump, but I did a couple of water changes and I changed how I've been feeding him (so uneaten food doesn't go to waste so easily) and the ammonia level has stayed at 0 for four days now ever since I did the water changes etc. I am monitoring ammonia daily to make sure the issue has been resolved. The tank as a whole has been set up for 8 months but with just snails for most of that time. Nitrates are also undetectable. I added some sponges to the sump to filter particulates since I could see a lot of stuff in the water itself, and I am rinsing them out daily, and getting a lot of dark crud out of the water this way.

So I need to decide what my next step is in stocking this tank. I was thinking of a final stocking of either one or two ocellaris clownfish, a fairy wrasse, and a shrimp of some kind (besides what I already have). Does this sound appropriate? What should my next addition be to the tank? It will be at least 10 days from now before I will be adding any more stock to the tank, to give enough time to make sure parameters are stable etc.

Choice of inhabitants is yours. Just remember to keep the stock low. The fish you now have may only allow for one other addition. Put fish in there based upon the final or adult size, not the size you see them and things will go well.

Some additional information about stocking limits can be found here: Fish Stocking Limit - for FO and FOWLR

Good luck!
