Upgrading to 40 gallon, need help!

As the title suggests I'm upgrading my current 20 gallon tall reef tank to a 40 gallon. I would like some suggestions on how many fish I can hold in the 40 gallon and what type of aquascapes might be suitable for the tank.

Well first off what equipment and livestock do you already have in the 20 gallon?

^ +1 really the amount of fish you can have is dependent on your system / filtering. Gotta test ur bioload limitations.

First things first, your gonna need more water. and you will need more rock and sand.. Let it get well established before you start adding fish. Strange things can happen when moving stuff from one tank to another. keep the bio-load small for at least a month.
