Default Re: what all should you get? HELP!

hmm not quite sure, i would wait a while with a tank that new to see what the parameters do... probably wait like a week or two to give the organisms time to get set up. Also, you don't have to introduce them first, in fact most people buy a cheap damsel fish to cycle the tank then take the fish out after, note that damsels can get territorial and if you want to keep it you will have to tweak a few things to introduce more fish(learned that the hard way >_<). I would introduce the cleaner crew after your first or second fish, as there biggest job is cleaning up dead organics(mostly food) as well as algae, there a big help in keeping the aquarium stable, and clean hehe

Heres a beginners guide i found that has a few references and stuff as well as basics:
