Thanks I'll probally be getting *the Remora in the near future and I've scratch the idea of the Tang and Mandarin.

Well, I started my tank this weekend. I bought 30lbs of Carib Aragamax sand, 30g of RO water, 50g bag of Kent Sea Salt, and a 150w Hagen submersible heater.

The tank has been up and running now for 48hrs and the water is nice and clear now. I'm running my Whisper power filter, temporarily, just for water movement. I plan on installing a pair of AquaClear 301 Powerhead pumps sometime this week before I purchase the Fiji Live Rock.

In a month or so, I plan on buying a AquaC Remora w/ Maxi-Jet 1200 pump. Around this time, after the tank cycles, I probally pickup a 30g cleaning crew.

Would it be safe to introduce my first fish at this point or should I wait an additional month? I am in no rush, I want to do this correctly.

Here's a small list that I'm working on:

Ocellaris or Perculs Clowns (Pair) w/ a Bulb Anemone (I'll wait till the tank matures a bit first)
Sailfin Blenny or Jawfish
Royal Gramma
and perhaps a small Goby (haven't decided which one)
