Thanks for all the help folks!
For fish, I think I am going ahead with two percs. I don't understand how two neon gobys differ from one small perc. I'm not running out and buying the clowns any time in the immediate future, so please let me know your thoughts Al? I know that percs will get larger as adults, but I've still got my 55 gal that I could transplant them to (only have 3 inches worth of fish in it right now anyway). I've read in a couple places that clowns tend to do best when introduced in pairs and that individual clowns are much more difficult to keep. Any opinions on this?
I checked up on ReefScavengers for a nano CUC, but their package has nassarius snails and two varieties of hermits (blue and white legged). I suppose I could do a custom CUC order such as what Prow suggested. That mix does sound pretty good.
If I need get rid of my canister filter (which seems to be the consensus here) I think I will try my hand at building my own HOB fuge. I might even try to make a protein skimmer as part of it like the first link BigAl gave me. My acrylic skills aren't excellent, but since it will be on the back of the tank it won't have to be pretty, just functional and leak-free! Does anyone have any design plans for a nano sized protein skimmer? I found a bunch of sites for DIY HUGE protein skimmers, but nothing that put it down to nano scale.
I checked the sunpod fixtures, and they are VERY nice! I'm a little dissapointed that what they advertise as their 20" model is actually 21 inches long! I think I am going to build a stand/canopy for this tank, so I am going to need a retrofit kit which puts the sunpaq retrofit kit on my wish list. This is 80W dual daylight and dual actinic PC. 8W/gal should be enough for just about anything, right? If not, I can get some DIY 14W LED grow lights pretty cheap to supplement.
As for mixing LPS and SPS... I was a little nervous about it to begin with. All the LPS my wife likes (since this tank is for her anyhow) tend to be aggressive and have sweeper tentacles (most of her likes lean toward euphyllia sp), which would make SPS real estate a pricey comodity in such a small tank. So now the decision has to be made of going euph only, or sps only...
In any case, the tank is cycled, I'd like to get a CUC soon, but it will be months yet before I have it fully stocked. Just keep telling myself, go slow... VERY slow. Plus, it gives me an excuse to use all the fun toys (aka power tools) I have in my garage!
Again, thanks for the help so far, I'm sure I will have dozens upon dozens of questions once this really gets off and running!
