Welcome to the boards!!! We are happy that you came here! First, nothing in this hobby is cheap. Do you have a liquid master test kit yet? If not then you need one. You also need at least one powerhead. You can get away without a skimmer for a few more months. Your domino damsel is one of the meanest breeds of damselfish. You may want to take him back. You are limited on space with your tank. Please be patient and only get fish that you REALY want/like/are suitable for your setup. Ask any and all questions that you may have.

cpr bak-pak you should always go bigger on equipment because of future upgrades for i:e get a skimmer for a 75-100 gal. tank even though you have a large nano tank this will save you money in the long run, you want a bigger heater same reason,and you asked something else i'll post this and answer the other to the best of my ability dang short term memory

powerheads are you going fish only or eventually going reef? if it iss a reef set-up 2 maxi-jet 1200's should do the trick that will give you 590 gph turnover rate and if it is fish only 1 will do fine
