58G Reef Tank, 7 weeks old now

Well my tank hit 6 weeks old. The ammonia / nitrate spike was very small (I used live sand and live rock from my upgraded tank), so I added a yellow tang and zoo colony (which looks like its already starting to grow 2 new ones). Last week I added a frogspawn coral. Today I got two small clownfish.
So basically I've added 2 corals and 3 fish in the span of the last 2 1/2 weeks, I hope I'm not going too quick. I have a couple things I'm looking at from saltwaterfish.com that are out of stock, but I want to make sure the clowns adapt well before I add those corals since they're a little more expensive than what I've been getting :)
OH and please excuse the hair algea in the 2nd pic... RO/DI water and phosphate sponge along with the Tang and my hands have all but taken care of it. (The top pic is the current view as of tonight)
Also the original pics can be seen in this thread:

great looking tank so far

can't wait to see it when its stocked more! the one thing that might be a problem is the yellow tang you have being cramped as it gets older. it looks fairly small to me right now but when it gets bigger you should upgrade or trade it in at your LFS.
