Icon12 My newbie tank!!!

Okay everyone, it's true I'm officially a reef building junkie. Less than 2 months ago I picked up the "Saltwater Tanks for Dummies" book, now my vision is coming together! I'm such a proud mommy! My new edition (maroon clown) is so beautiful. I sit on the floor in front of my tank for hours! My friends said I'm not allowed to say the work fish or tank anymore!
Here she is:
29 gallon
40 lbs live sand
30 lbs live rock
clean-up crew
chromis
yellowtail blue damsel
maroon clown
All water tests at zero. Everyone seems happy.
I'm already planning my next bigger, better tank! Thanks for all the info & support!
GO REEFBUILDERS!

you need to take some closer pics or just insert them directly into the posting..i cant get a good view of your tank. from what i can see, looks nice though...you are gonna love your maroon clown. i had a couple of the normal orange and white ones when i first started, but they died and i picked up a maroon clown. he has got to be the toughest fish in the tank hands down. he took right to the anenome i put into the tank and if anyone gets too close to it, he gets angry like the HULK. he was battling my coral banded shrimp yesterday. he was beating the shrimp with his tail, the shrimp would return the favor by grabbing the clown with his huge sharp claws but the clown would get free and go right back at him...never backs down...gotta love a lil dude or dudette with balls!!! has that napolean complex going on.

you have to upload them to photobucket.com and under each pic click on the IMG code below it which will automatically copy it and then you just paste the code into your post..the picture will appear.

I'd like:

An anemone, a feather duster, a hawkfish, an orchid dotty back, orange finger sponge, maybe a zoo or two. Don't think I can choose just any thogh b/c some need high lighting. I only have 130 watt PC 50/50. This can be scaled back too b/c I'm not sure if my tanks big enough. What do you think? I've got 2 bio filters running, one 280, one 130 GPH to total 410 GPH. I just ordered the Aquac Remora Pro w/ mag skimmer which is 110 GPH. Hopefully this will keep my tank water pristine.
