Default Fluval Edge with 15 Gallon sump

I recently aquired a pewter colored 7 Gallon Fluval Edge Nano from a friend (for free...yay!). I decided to go for a nano setup since my 155 build is going terribly slow. I've also decided to go with LED's for lighting, and a 15 Gallon (water volume, not dimensions) 20" X 16" X 15" sump. So that will put the total water volume at roughly 22 gallons. I think it will make for a more stable evironment for the edge.

I'm also toying with the idea of doing a suspended fuge above the sump that would be either drain line or pump fed. More on that one when it's all set up and I see how much room I have to play with inside the stand.

Here is the tank as it came to me:


Current equipment that I have lying around -

150W Jager heater
Tunze 9002 Protein Skimmer
20 X 16 X 15 glass sump
TLF 150 phosban reactor for Chemi-pure elite
Tunze ATO
2 Koralia Nano powerheads (upgrading to Vortec MP10 asap)
Oceanic BioCube 29 stock return pump
Oddysea 150W 14 Halide with 2 X 24W actinic T5 Pendant (until LED's arrive)

When LED's arrive it will be 6 cree royal blues and 6 cree cool white with dimmable drivers. I'm ordering from Rapid LED, so from what I heard everything should go well.

Stock -
Not sure! pom poms, porcelains, sexy shrimp?
shrimp/goby combo?
pair of misbar clowns?

Buncha florida and yuma rics, birdsnest SPS, torch and frog spawn for sure... and whatever else comes along.
