What corals are you planning for and also what's your lighting? Here's a shot of my tank, I just added the kessil A150W and if you were looking to upgrade your lighting then I would strongly suggest this one. Your tank is lookin good btw.

Thanks! :)
The bulbs are 50/50, actinic/10,000k
Theirs 2 55w bulbs
2 blue moonlight leds
Compact Fluorescent

Has 2 fans and I also custom built a 3rd external fan to increase the life span of all the equipment

Well I have done lots and lots of research and have decided for sure on mushrooms, zoanthids, polys, and I'm also get to take an inexpensive dip in the sps/lps pool to see if I can support anything and if the temperature is right. If not, just sticking to those 3.

Hi I was wondering how many fish its safe to put in a 34g reef tank?

My lfs told me I could have 9-10 small fish in this tank. Is this true?

Small fish as in 2"-3", or long, skinny 4" fish.

Tank has an overrated skimmer. A small drip sump bioball system, 40lbs live sand, and 25lbs live rock. I also hope to get some macroalgae/cheato in the back soon. It will have coral.
 
wow biggs hit the big time. Lol.
congrats. are you all hyped up?
;-)

Does anybody know?
 
Really depends on the size of fish. How messy of eaters they are ect.

I would go for yeah some colourfull small fish, maybe a dwarf angel and some other small species of damsils or a clown... Eye it up. Lol Tank looks over stocked. Prolly is. Tank looks like it could use a fish or two more. Add them. Dont forget to post pics !

Again depends on alot of things, how big they get, how messy they are, are they an algea eater or meat eater ect.
five 4inch fish will look like your tank is full I bet.

I just added live copepods to the tank. Also bought a new api reef test kit and tested the water:

Nitrates 40ppm
Ammonia 1ppm

Haven't tested calcium and magnesium yet. Not for a few days...

I wouldnt even be remotley worried about cal and mag if you have ammonia and nitrates that high...
