12g nano
live rock
live sand
remora skimmer
coral
150 watt mh

but what fish do you recommend? i want to hear your thoughts and variety thanks!

i thought maybe, 2 clowns, 1 goby, 1 cleaner fish.

honestly, that would be overstocking in a bit. plus, a lot of people including myself say that cleaner wrasses are better left in the ocean (they die due to lack of food and have an extremely important role in the ocean). being on the safe side would be having 1 goby.

A yellow watchman goby would work. You could likely get away with a royal gramma, providing the rock was set up so it had a ledge/overhang to call it's own.

I wouldn't go with more than 2 very small fish, that stay small. Or consider a goby/pistol shrimp combo.

Goby/pistol shrimp combo is quite interesting. Firefish could be cool if you've got a lid. (They jump)

goby pistol sounds great

and maybe one more fish? my filtration will be great going to add an additional hang on filter.
