I wouldn't add 3 fish at once go slow, but a pair small clowns at once is recommend to avoid future fighting if they were added separately.

Ya I'm not adding the fish today, and not at the same time either (except for the pair).
I picked up a nice frag of zenia for $25
Some green star polyps for $20
and a little stem with about 9 zoo polyps on it for $5
wooo pics to come soon

And the FTS
I fragged the green star and pinned it to some LR to hopefully get a wall going
wouldn't let me edit...

Greetings OSUaquarist! Everything is looking really good, however, I do have one suggestion. Seems to me that you have found an interesting clam that seems to open and close with ease. Why not prop it open and put a sunspot coral in it, or something else that does not require much light. It will eventually grow and overflow out of the sides of the clam!
(If you do not do this, I will come downstairs and push your tank off the desk!)

I seem to be having a copepod outbreak, or something similar. There are incredibly small white/clear organisms all over the glass of my nano. This is good! these are copepods right????
Anyway what can I get to take care of them, I know everyone hates on mandarins, but I do have 2 chambers full of LR rubble and I could add more piles to the display if it would be posible to keep one, I know I probably can't so what else could benefit of these tiny numerous creatures???

You could try a scooter blennie. just make sure it will eat other foods at the lfs.
edit: have you gotten you 1st fish yet????

not yet, I'm going to reef systems this weekend and they have a pair of true percs, and a pair of black clowns I will look at. If I like them I will get them or I will keep looking. I am going to a frag workshop on friday with my friend. We are fragging 4 differant corals, 1 SPS, 1 LPS, and 2 softies and every1 gets to keep a frag of each for only $20! it's going to be awesome!

So I'm thinking of getting either the sleeper banded bullet goby with a fire shrimp (or harlequin shrimp... it says these eat starfish are these the tiny ones that live in the sand bed or would I actually need to purchase brittlestars?) OR I could get the bubblebee shrimpgoby but I would want to wait until the tiger pistol shrimp came into stock, does anyone have a clue when these will arrive next?

Updates! I went to a frag workshop and for 4 assorted frags for $20 I got a brain, sps, pipeorgan and a nice zoo rock. The lps and sps will be going in my friends tank once it is established, I also am housing 4 of his frags for him. I also bought a pair of true percs too!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

So I have added a blue banded sleeper goby to the tank, I ordered him from this site, he is a little bigger than I thought but he is awesome and I love him. I also ordered a green ric but it didn't come on live rock so I tried to rubber band it to my rock unfortunately it did not like this and pretty much disintegrated. looks like I need to get a quality piece from a LFS but hey you get what you pay for ($10). Here are some pics! I redid the aquascape because the goby was burying my star polyps under sand
