ehhh not gunna lie most people will say stop with just the clowns. Its only a 10 gallon and i think even some people might say its too small for clownfish but thats just me so in my opinion nix the goby
but then again i have 2 small gobies in my 5.5gallon >.<

alright well the temp i think is going to stay at 81.4...but should i put the power filter on it or just leave it wiht the 11 pounds of live rock and the powerhead and now its still cloudy but is very slowly getting better
prolly going to add the power filter to see if i can get tthis cloudyness gone i want to see wat the tank looks like

 

[frogman5]

also one more question and sorry for all the questions but is the tank ready for fish with all the live rock and live sand wont there be enough good bacteria that fish can go right in
sorry im more of a freshwater guy and i really dont want anything to go wrong

i doubt your tank is cycled. Get a reliable test kit and check the ammonia nitrite and nitrates and post the readings here

 

[frogman5]

yeh i doubt its cycled either was just wondering because this is almost like a freshwater tank you transfer over like old filter media and stuff like that and that usually makes the tank almost cycled and the live sand i bought said makes it safe to add fish right away...so i was just thinking that this is the same concept but not sure....also i have a 18 inch light hood is there any type of bulb i could get so i would be able to keep soft corals or am i going to have to get more bulbs
also i found a snail very cool
and should i add the power filter

I personally would get a cheap power filter. It will remove all of the floating particles and debris that would just float around. When I added my rock it too all the algae that was released and filtered it.
It also adds a bit of flow, and imo sounds nice and soothing.
This is my tank before sand:

My first saltwater tank was a 10 gallon, and i had one clown and one cleaner shrimp. About 10 pound of rock i think. Two clowns, a goby, and a shrimp would be too much. Maybe a goby and a shrimp, or one clown and a shrimp.
