Hey guys so been in the hobby for over 2 yrs now have had a 55 gallon reef. I had an extra 5 gallon tank lying around so I went ahead and estates the cycling process. I want to be keep some inverts and corals, any suggestion? Also I got some equipment if not all. I have a aqua clear 20 hob, 50 watt water heater and a nano koralia 425, and for light I ordered a ecoxotic par 38 20000k 3 blue 2 white led light and reef clamps for the light. Is this light good enough? Any other suggestions as far as equipment? I also will be ordering a ato

Ok my hob filter stopped working i think im going get a new aqua clear 20 or anyone have any suggestions?
 
Ok so I got my filter working, cycle is underway ammonia was around 1.5ppm. Also the light came which is a ecoxotic par 38 21w 2000k bulb ow with 3 blues and 2 whites and so did boostled reef clamp. My plan is to order reef cleaners clean up crew up only snails and some chaeto for the filter next Friday and then two weeks after that hopefully cycle is fully complete and tank is getting some stability. My plan is to fill it with chalice corals, acans, high end zoas, some sps, and a bonded sexy shrimp pair. Would these shrimp work?
