Hey,
Wow! I'm not sure what your question is. Yes you need at least one more power head. Two more would be better. I think you asked about ls/lr and clean-up crews. LS is live sand. LR is Live Rock and a clean-up crew is a combination of critters to keep your tank clean such as hermit crabs, snails, brittle starts, emerald crabs, and shrimp.
Are you setting up a FOWLR (Fish Only with Live Rock) or a reef tank. (With LOTS of Live Rock and corals? This will help in deciding what kind of set up you need.
Good luck!
Dan'l

i'm setting fish only aggressive i have crushed coral should i put live cured fiji rock

the type, ie. fiji tonga or marshall isl.,
depends on the individual, and more so the wallet funding the individual, but by all means, yes cured lr is a very good idea, also changing from cc(crushed coral) to a dsb(dense sand bed using possibly ls) is another good consideration, however, with only fish(and aggressive ones), cc could be manageable, just more work, BUT many new reefers start out thinking they are only gonna be FO or FOWLR, plus reefs are easier to maintain agter everything is set up and running properly(what they do is help maintain the system, by becoming a small eco system by itself)
