Bump for no replies.

Also I will be using two powerheads that I already have at 100 GPH each so take off the Hydor Koralia.

I can't wait for pics. I can't really help since I have gotten everything for my tank really cheaply and am kinda cheating with no heater(really warm bathroom) and a really small filter, and I am just kinda cheating with everything, so I don't think it can be any help to you. Sorry.

I changed my list around and organized it a bit. No more catalina gobies. 3 types of clown gobies and one less turbo snail. Also I took off the Koralia.

I cant help at all as i'm just starting out myself. But it looks good. I'd be interested in knowing how that skimmer works. I think i will be paying slightly less for my 27gal setup- besides fish.
good luck with it.

Good list so far Cory, I've got the same light unit on my 10 gallon nano and my gsps, zoas and frogspawn are doing fantastic. I went with trochus instead of turbo snails, as trochus can right themselves if they fall, which is always a good thing.

You might want to consider adding a small (5oz) bag of chemipure to the list, so that when your tank is done cycling you can add that into the filter. I added chemipure last night and there is already a noticable difference in the water clarity.

Best of luck!
