Thanks! I plan on 2 clowns (false percula), a bubble tip anemone, a royal gramma, 5 scarlet hermit crabs, 1 turbo snail, and 5 nassarius snails! I also plan on getting yellow polyp frags, and some zoo's!
Could I get a linka starfish if I get 15lbs of live rock?
Any ideas of what else to stock my aquarium with?

Hey do you think a Bio cube nano skimmer would work on a 24g aquapod??
Because I hear the Current USA fission nano skimmers suck.
Since you have one just asking
 
Looking good so far, False Percula's are awesome :), but I don't think you should get the BTA, they won't survive long without MH lighting, and it will out-grow your tank.
 
For a clean up crew you should have it something like this...
1Cleaner Shrimp
10 asst. snails
10 asst. hermits
2 cleaner clams
and I'd throw a sand sifting starfish because they're cool :)! I have one in the 10g in my room.

FOR GOT TO MENTION! ITS A BIOCUBE Oceanic skimmer made for the biocube 14 and 29, you could add the heater in the third chamber if you wanted!

This image shows the live rock with my urchin! I bought him for $15 because they couldnt get him off the rock and they brought out sharp tools, I couldnt let it be tourcherd, so I told them i'd buy it!

When I got my 9lbs of live rock, I got many fellow friends as well! I got the following hitch hikers:
2 featherdusters
1 clam (i'm shure of it because it keeps on opining and closing!)
5 reddish looking anemones, it has a central mouth and many long tenticals!
1 small shrimp
2 hermit crabs, ones not active, could be an empty shell?
And best of all..........................a free serpent star, reddish color! I havent seen its main body yet but have seen 5 legs rap around the rocks!
And just found a baby brittle star fish, 1cm or so! Hes realy cute!
As a side note, i'm stressing out now because I didnt know this much life would be present, and i'm not getting my test kits till saturday

My salinity is at 1.024 and the temps at 81 day, 80 night!
The live rock was all the way cured and they put in water with the rock so their shouldnt be too much of a spike right? My live sand has been in for just over a week now, so the spike should be over now, right? Also live rock cost me $7 a pound.

yes i was gonna put my heater in the 3rd chamber if i got a skimmer but the only skimmers i found was the ones you have to take your lid off for.
any websites where you found it at?

Which state do you live in? Did you get lots of frebbies too? It made it well worth the price, I estimated with all the corals on it, when they mature they all could combine to be well over 200 dollars, I have six anemones, or at least they look like annemones, i'll post a pic soon!
