the recommended stocking levels for fish i heard is 1 inch of fish for every 5 gallons of water, but what about marine inverts?

such as shrimp, hermit crabs and such. i heard they produce much lesser waste than fish, so is there a guide line for the stocking level of marine inverts?

i just set up a 5 gallon tank with 5 KG of liverock (at least 1/3 to 2/3 of the tank is filled with rocks.) with a HOB filter 80GPH that's filled with lava rock and a airstone skimmer i had lying around.

and i wanna stock it up with inverts rather than fish. well, maybe i'll get a yellow clown goby at most. so any suggestions?
