Welcome to the hobby!

Similar to you, i also started off this marine hobby with a fluval 12g. Seeing as how your system is still new, remember to run through some test kits(ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) before adding your lifestock! Most definitely invest in a magnet cleaner, it would be extremely beneficial!

As for livestock, you can look towards a pair of clownfish(designer or normal) and perhaps gobies or smaller kinds of fish(fire goby etc). I assume that you do not have a chiller currently, so you should look towards gsp(green star polyps) and zoas as they are more tolerant of higher temperature than most corals. For inverts, you can look towards a clean up crew consisting of a variety of snails to help reduce waste and eat nuisance algae (turbo, nassarius, hermit crabs). I would recommend around 5 snails as a starter. 

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask ! :D

You should a skimmer too if you’re system have one, a small return pump(to act like wavewaker) or wavewaker to creat a decent current to mimic the ocean conditions..

I bought a wave maker, jebao rw 4 and a tunze ato nano. Yup, im planning to get an external skimmer or maybe a cheato reactor.

Started adding microbacter7 too to speed up the cycling process then ive been phantom feeding my tank with pellets too.

What do ya’ll think about microbacter7? Helpful or no?

Heres a photo of how i manage to squeeze them all in haha
