Diary of a 5 gallon

Well I just started cycling my new 5 gallon mini-bow tank.

Everything is standard except:
* I took out the carbon from the filter
* I replaced the bulb with a mini-compact flourescent bulb (10W = 50W flourescent)

I put in approx. 10lbs. of live sand and 6.5lbs. of live cured rock

Pics will be coming shortly (my digital camera batteries are recharging now).

I have just ordered another powerhead to increase the water flow, a mini-heater, Chemi-pure (filtration media), and a stronger light bulb.

Once the tank completes it's cycle I plan on stocking the following cleaning crew:
(1) Pom Pom Crab
(1) Scarlet Hermit Crab
(2) Bumble Bee Snails
(3) Nassarius Snails (Shifts Sand)
(2) Sexy Shrimp

Is that too much for a 5 gallon tank? And will the crab eat my future clownfish??
