29 Gallon Reef Build

[reef-n-paradise]

Hey there everyone,
I just started my 29 gallon reef, and so far I'm very excited.
Here's what I've done so far...
*Painted back glass black
*Built DIY overflow & refugium
*Added Hydor Koralia powerhead
*Added about 23 lbs. of live rock, along with live sand (got a great deal on the LR, only $4.99/lb!)
*Added 26 hermit crabs

As for stocking plans, I really don't know. However, I know I want a Midas Blenny. So, if anyone could point me in the direction of good tank-mates that would be great. Also, I am going to be running metal halides soon!
Thanks,
R-N-P

Looks good.
26! hermits is an awful lot for a new tank.
Midas blennies are awesome, but can be aggressive towards some fish (like firefish for example). What other fish do you like the looks of?

i bet you change your rock at least 10 times before your somewhat satisfied... LOL.... just know that its a normal part of this addition!
