New Eheim Aquastyle 6.3 Gallon Build

Hey everyone. To make a long story short. I got in the hobby around 2007 and got into it way to fast. Spent too much money on a 90 gallon and 125. Just decided to give it another try with a nano (after about a month of stalking reef central). After a bad experience with a fluval edge, I bought a new Eheim Aquastyle 6.3 gallon tank.

Tank: Eheim Aquastyle 6.3 gallon
Light: Stock 7 watt led
Filter: Stock filter... going to start running chemi pure elite in it, is that okay?
7.5 Lbs Figi and Marshall Live Rock & 10 lbs Carib Sea Live Sand
Flow: 2 Hydor (1 nano 1 regular)
Heater: Hydor 25 watt

Would like to stock it with a combo of rics, zoas, mushrooms(rare) and some sps. Not sure on the fish yet. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Definitely peppermint shrimp and a few crabs.
Here are some pics for now. They are not very good because my water is super clowdy from redoing the live rock arrangement and I used my Iphone 4. Any feedback, good or bad, is much appreciated.

Good rock work! Can't wait to see it when you start to add some corals. As far as fish, I am a huge fan of gobies. Tailspots are pretty cute. Some people I know say they hide all the time, but mine is always up front and perching on my zoas. Good luck!
 
Thanks coralkait! I can't wait to get this thing stocked but I promised myself I would take it slow. Pretty happy with the tank so far. Might redo the rocks just a touch.

Updated pics. Added 10 small blue leg hermit crabs and 4 astrea snails. Tank has gone through its cycle but nitrate was still between 10 and 20 ppm. Went to local lfs and got a couple yellow tail damsels just to get things going. Actually perfect for the tank. Any advice on an affordable light upgrade? Also, you don't think those two hydor koralias are too much flow right? I know these pics suck, they are taken with my iphone.

Lighting Upgrade Advice Ecoexotic Panorama Pro Or Rapid or Boost LED par38

Want to upgrade the lightning on my tank. Thinking about either getting the panorama pro with remote control or a single par38 bulb by either boost or rapid led. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
