tank looks good so far, but i would have the lights on for no more than a hour a day while cycling a tank, your just going to get alot of algae problems if you do, and also get some more rock to build it up more

Yes, that's ok if they're the same species. Two ocellaris (false perc) clowns would be perfect.

What u guys think?
The guy at the first fish store i went to said i should put a karillia 2 in my tank since he was out of 1's.. he said no big deal.. i obviously did not go with it.. the second lfs i went to said i should not even dare get near a karillia 1 with only a 12 gal unless a whirpool is what i was looking to get
he said the they made a karillia NANO for my tank and he had it over priced so i guess i will order it online.. i think it was 39.99 or 44.99 i cant remember.. if any1 has a websites that give good deals please shoot them my way.
Do you think i added tooooo much rock? I think it looks pretty cool but it was way 2 damn cloudy 2 see what was going on. Ill see it soon and get better pics for u guys... I did notice when i was re-aquascaping that there was a crab ? I have no idea what kind since i am new to this game, and dont laugh at me but i think a VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TINY little muscle? clam? no idea.. it was stuck between the the live rock, i doubt it will fall out unfortunately but whatever. Anyhow, how u guys like the new setup?.. if not tomorrow, soon i will have new pics with the rocks.
I have yet to test the water still, but i wont be moving into my office for another 2-3 weeks minimum so it is still cycling in the meantime.

i just found it on amazon for 27.99.. what a ripoff that fish store was!.. anyhow so the NANO is okay correct?.. 240gph 3.5 wat?..
or is the korilla 1 needed? which the LFS said would be tooooooo much current.
400 gph vs 240 ... the korilla 1 is actually on sale and cheaper then the nano.. haha but i dont want my fish flying everywhere not being able 2 swim at all.. i can always point it against the glass to keep the current going everywhere but woldnt it be toooooo strong?.. i mean i really like how everything looks alive and moving with a strong current but i am in fear the fish and ---- will have trouble with the korilla 1?.. and some corals i read need a lottttt of current.. im scared the Nano wont be enough? Any input would be much appreciated so i can order it soon.

I have a maxijet 900 for a return and a koralia 1 in my Biocube 14. The flow is perfect, not too much not too little. Just depends on where you place your corals, some like a lot of flow, some do not. I say get the koralia 1, you can find them on sleazebay for $28 bucks shipped.
