Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I have an empty tank and a piece of dead coral. I have a heater that was handed down with the tank. I'm confused with live sand and live coral. What would you use as a substrate that might have benefits to help keep the tank balanced? Do you think 2 tiny fish and 2 shrimp would be possible?
I would get some dry rock for your tank and some live sand. Live sand is just sand that has beneficial bacteria in it. Dry rock is gonna be the best bet because the tank is so small that any pests in live rock could be very bad.
 
8g is slightly small for a clown.. unless it's hosting a nem. Preferably you'd have at least a 15g. I listed some nano fish a few posts ago
I disagree I’ve seen plenty of clowns house in 5-8g

Bringing home about 10lbs of rock from the ocean. Also 1/2 gallon of ocean water. Curious to see if anything pops out of them.
We're in Callyfornia, don't have that here. Nice

That is awesome. Nothing like some real fresh diversity! Cannot wait to see what pops out.
