I started my nano cube 24 August 29 and let it cycle for about 6 weeks--have added cleanup crew in last week and a half and am looking at getting my first fish in the next couple weeks--my wishlist includes 3 of the following 4 and am looking for some pointers on who to add/not add and when--I am looking a true percula clown, royal gramma, six line wrasse, and green clown goby--what to add and when?
Help with fish wishlist

Percs, grammas and six lines can become aggressive. I would not get these three togather, and would probaly omit the royal gramma as alot of people dont like it because of it being very aggressive. I would add the clown goby first, then clown, then six line. I would also add shrimp before your sixline and if you get a cleaner shrimp make sure its bigger than your sixline.

you can cycle a tank with live sand and live rock...that is what most people do. This is what im doing on my 24 aquapod.
You don't need fish to cycle the tank, there are many different methods. Here are a list of most of them in poll form:

I did the cocktail shrimp method myself =P

I also did it without fish, I was just wondering cause I didn't see a method listed and I knew someone once who left the tank running empty for 6 weeks thinking they were cycling it and then added a bunch of fish....only AFTER they all died within 3 days did they call to ask what was wrong. Better to ask then assume, thanks Nina

I think that you are going to have alot of trouble with the perc picking on the green clown goby. Also, the green clown goby is an acropora goby and, unlike some of the other clown gobies, does much better in a tank with very large acro pieces....they are notorious for being sucked into overflow boxes, powerheads, etc.
