advice on a 10 gallon setup

[G13]

Tank is mostly filled with established saltwater and the rest a fresh 2 gallons of saltwater. I added the 20 lbs of black sand. How long does it usually take to clear up?

LS Bag states that most inverts can be added imediately, this true? Is it possible for me to add since I mainly used established saltwater from my existing tank?

I will be adding LR once the water clears up a bit.

Tank cleared up by the time I got home from work. So, I added some LR.........Not sure how I'm going to fix up the landscaping but decided to throw some in and work from there.

I think, this is the pic that shows my 45 gallon reflection in it before I added liverock....

Here are some updated pics still no livestock but added some red shrooms and a couple of zoo's.....pictures aren't great but I wanted to give an idea of what the sand looks like. I'm glad I went with this type of sand, I've gotten a lot of compliments from friends of mine of how cool the sand looks with the black background.

As for inhabitants I've decided to go with 2 baby onyx percs (maybe w/rbta), what I'm not positive on is the cleanup crew and shrimp. I was thinking of going with 3-5 sexy shrimp but was told that a fire shrimp would stick out big time since there is a lot of black in my tank. What do you guys think?

Also, is this enough water movement? A penguin 200b and a maxi-jet 400.

Well, I thought I should post a pic since I made this thread to show my first inhabitants. Well here there are if anyone is interested. Pics are while I acclimated them last night....If any interest is shown I can probably take more pics.

Looking good so far. Let's see some more pics of your setup now that you've added the clowns.

I agree that you should consider a fire shrimp. It would really stand out in your tank.

Some new tank mates for the onyx clowns.....

 

[G13]

and.....

 

[G13]

neon eviota goby.....very small, so I couldn't get a good pic.

 

[G13]

maybe this is better....

I decided to go with the 3 sexy shrimp since they'll stay small.

So my tank currently has.....

2 Onyx Clowns
1 Greenbanded goby
1 Neon Eviota goby
3 Sexy Shrimp
1 trochus snail
1 unknown snail but has the same feeding habits as a trochus.

All fish are less then 1"

I was thinking of adding 5 or so blue-leg hermits. Or are the snails enough of a cleanup crew when it comes to taking care of the algae?

 

[G13]

more pics...lol...I'll stop after these .

UPDATE!

UPDATE!

Just giving a little up date... I recieved a nano aqua c remora today and decided to move the rocks a little added some small pcs to the tank.

I also removed the heater and placed it inside the remora. I hope it's not a bad move. I also hope these pics are not huge.

The neon eviota goby has been missing for about a week (probably dead) and the green banded goby could not be found after the small changes.
