I am with reefwars.
Resist the urge to go out and buy a fish now.
You have a small tank so add only one fish at a time one month apart.
In the meantime study the fish you might like a give us a list and I am sure you will get lots of advice from reefers who have experience with the fish you are looking at.

If your tank is only a couple weeks old... you should not be adding any fish.

Give it some time to cycle and ensure you have no toxic spikes and potentially kill things.

A 33 is a decent first tank... but does have limits on livestock.

Coral.... you can fill that thing up pretty fast but ensure to leave space for growth.

Canreef is a great place to find corals. Cheap. Tank hardy for the most part.

ALWAYS research anything you want in your tank BEFORE you add it.

Have fun. Be patient and it will pay off!

Hi Andrew and welcome to the hobby.

You should probably hold off on anymore livestock and let your tank cycle completely. Cycling a tank can take some time(In my opinion the hardest part of all) wait until your water parameters are stable. I would suggest going to a local fish store and buy yourself these test kits: Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate to start with. Start with ammonia to see if the cycle has started when ammonia start to drop test for nitrites when nitrites start dropping test for nitrates when nitrates are 0 then your good to go.

In this hobby you have to take your time in the beginning and read read read.....

I would suggest researching about nano tanks so you can get an idea of you can and can't have in your tank.

Can you give everyone some details about your system (lighting, skimmer, water flow, using tap water or RO/DI).

patience patience ..........
