New nano tank

I have a 5 gallon hexagon tank that I want to turn into a nano reef. I have had larger reef tanks before but this would be my first time with anything this small. So my question is what soft corals would be best for a tank this small and also I would like to add 1 maybe 2 small fish so what fish would be best and how much of a clean up crew would be good? I have compact fluorescent lighting day light white and Atlantic blue as well as LED lighting, a hob filter (primarily for extra volume and water flow as my filtration will be live rock and sand). I was also wondering if I should use a small power head along with my hob filter for extra flow but I don't want too much flow in such a small tank.
 
There is actually a "Nano" community here. It would probably be a better place to move the thread there. Several people run pico size tanks or 5 gallons that can probably help you.
