33 starting up

I've decided that I'll document my new set-up, so here we go.
I've had small tanks for a while now since I don't really have a steady pay check (still at college).
Tank I'm setting up is like it says in the title. It's a 33 gallon (48x12x13). There's only about 10lbs of rock in there so far, but I'm planning on adding much more once I get paid. It's going to be a FOWLR with zoas and mushrooms possibly. Don't have the money for the lighting right now so I'm gunna be doing the shop lighting thing. For circulation I have a Mag7 closed loop attached to a spray bar. I think I might get another pump for more circulation like a Maxi-Jet 1200 with a Hydor Flo. This is going on a kitchen counter in place of a 10 we've had there since the beginning of last semester. The guys going into this tank so far is a Golden Dwarf Moray, pinkface wrasse, and if I can't find another home a pink skunk clown. I'm trying to get a lemonpeel hybrid angel, but the lfs here aren't the nicest guys as their motto is whoever has the money first.

What do you guys recommend for a clean-up crew? Will this be too much flow?
LMK what you guys think.
Pictures will be coming soon if the internet at my apts ever works...

Thanks,
Mike

Re: 33 starting up

33's are a cool tank, and 2 40wt bulbs will light it nicely. for maxi-jets you can get 2-MJ-600s split the flow up and diversify it a bit more than with just 1 powerful stream.

*Disclaimer*
i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
