tank finished cycling !need help stocking and questions


My 29 gallon biocube finished cycling. It's been up and running for a month. Now it's time to start stocking. I know a lot of people get inverts first, but I don't have any algae for them to eat. So, what should I put in first? I want to get two clowns, a wrasse, and a goby. Any suggestions on what kind of goby? Could I buy one clown and a coral frag (i.e. a zoo or mushroom) to start and then get a clean up crew a couple of weeks later? Also, a lot of people do water changes after their tank finished cycling. Now that my tank is done cycling, how much should I change? Is it really necessary if my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are at zero?

I would start changes to get in the habit and clean the sand if nothing else. I would still probably start with a clean up crew before adding fish. Have you seen a diatom bloom yet? that almost always happens on a new set up. If you are going to get 2 clowns I would get them at the same time so they can figure out who is the male and who gets to be the female.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.
