    ^ oh ya, they do... Plenty of algae and microscopic plankton, plus what ever the fish don't eat.

    So here is my final line up for the cube, as far as fish go.

    Lawnmower blenny
    Royal Gramma
    Midnight/nox angel
    True naked percula clown (maybe)

    Thoughts? Advice?

    the only fish i ever saw do a backflip was one trigger that would do that and turn upside down to beg for food.

    blennies are jumpers, assuming the top is cover you may find it in you filter a couple times.
    royal grammas can be mean i would add it lastish.
    any angels may nip at corals and clams. although these are "generally" reef safe, if you have bad luck at gambling i would choose a different fish

    i would like a snowflake perc better i think the naked ones look kinda bare you may as well be getting a clown goby. i should percs arent my favorite fish as they just stay in the same place and wiggle(i dont know what it is about the percs as i just find there wiggle alot more iritating then other clowns)

    feed that sally well as the have been know to take a swipe at small fish especially in small tanks
