Give ultra corals a call and see what a 120 acrylic sump would go for. If you are going to be completely under the stand, I would probably want as much room as possible in my sump. That is provided you have room for ATO container, dosing containers (if needed), and other equipment. You have...
Gobies, barnacle blennies and anthias first, then the sail fin follwed by the flasher, yellow (I assume yellow coris) and then the hooded (In my opinion). Where are you ordering from?

It all depends on what fish you think you are going to put in your tank. If you are looking at big fish, you need a bigger QT, smaller fish smaller QT. That space is tough, maybe a 30g cube at 18x18?

Alpha has some amazing clowns so it is going to be easy to find something you like. I agree with staying away from the maroons and tomatos. Most of the hybrids are from percula lines which are generally more peaceful (the oscellaris or false percs are more aggressive) which is good. A pair...
