Beanz' 15 gallon nano reef tank
 

Well after a while of my tanks sitting in my room with the lights off, I decided to start one of em up again (the 15), and shut one down (old 45 gallon, future frag/grow out tank).
Here is the equipment I am using:
Lighting:
-70w JBJ K2 Viper
-24" Coralife T5 (running 2 actinics)
-Random 100w light for sump

Flow/Filtration:
-3 Koralia Nanos for flow in display
-Big Koraila for sump flow (can't remember the #)
-DIY overflow
-Oceanic Biocube skimmer (my coralife 65g crapped out)
-Two little fishies phosban reactor 150 (running Eco Phos phosphate and silicate remover)
-pretty sure its a 9w UV sterilizer (cant remember who makes it either kinda embarrassing)
-Quietone 1200 return pump
-30 gallon sump

Since this tank has been set up and the rock was in the tank for a pretty long time all i did was turn the lights on and waited a couple weeks and now i have started adding livestock. Well more livestock I already had a decently sized cleaner shrimp and a lot of snails (PM me if u need any astrea or nassarius snails ive got too many.) Well today i got a white blenny and a milli and acro from tidal_waters. anyways here are some pics of my set up and such.

O and my stocking list is now:
-Some kinda goby (thinkin rainfords or clown or something along those lines any suggestions?)
-pair of clowns
would this be over stocked considering i have a shrimp and blenny in there now?

Some input on the stocking list would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

a pair of clowns would likely max you out! depends what way you want to go with your tank.

hmmm, there are threeroutes that i am leaning towards, those would b having a goby/shrimp pair but idk if the pistol and cleaner would get along especially because of the small tank size, 2 snowflake clowns, or a clown goby and a rainfords goby. Whats your feel on these ideas? I still have a while to wait before i'm gonna be adding anymore fish.

I jsut got a pistol on the weekend to go with my wheelers goby , and i think it is one of the coolest things ive ever had in my tanks . I would seriously chance it with the cleaner shrimp mostly because they stay up on the rockwork and off the sand.

Ok cool I really think that'd be awesome in my tank. The only thing I would be worried about would be sand in the water colum cause I have quite a bit of flow and wouldn't want the sand to irritate my corals.

So a little update, I decided to change the rock work a little and am happier with how it looks now. I also took out 2 Koralia Nanos and put in a single larger Koralia and i like it much more. For livestock I plan on adding one more SPS piece, I'm thinking monti cap. But that'll be down the road once my pieces that i have now fill out a little more. I'll probably put in some zoas and LPS first. O and the blenny died, I don't know if my mom fed him when i was away but sadly he has perished. I still don't know what fish to get. I'm leaning towards a couple snowflake clowns, or just normal ocellaris clownfish. Any ways here are some pics.

This is the new aquascape, I think it kinda looks weird cause i used pretty big pieces for the tank size but im gonna stay with it.

This is the right side of the tank. I am planning on having zoas cover the rock work here.

This is the really cool plate looking piece of LR that I'm gonna have my SPS on. has some HA on it but its almost gone, this is pretty much the last of it on this piece.

Here is the big wall type piece on the left side of the tank. I think it will look really cool with zoas growing all over it.
