So my LFS seems to be relatively crap, great people, but the service and selection sucks. Other closest store is over an hour away.
I have a torch, a duncan and i honestly dont know what the third frag is, but feel free to guess. The pic of my tank is below. Its looking great. My numbers are good and water changes weekly/scrubbing sides almost daily is making me really happy that i got into this. The tank is looking great.

Here are my 2 questions

1. How do i get the water even more clear/clean. I want it to look like the bahamas not the canals, its fine now but if i can get it better i will.

2. Whats a good soft or hard coral i cant get. I have the LED biocube. What online site can i trust/what corals should i get.

I plan to dip/use coral glue to get them on rock cause as you can see my tank has very tough spots and i cant stick any more frags in the rock other then the torch i have right now. I dont know anything about it yet but can watch youtube videos on dipping/gluing frags to my rock as i dont want it in the sand. Also it needs to be closer to light as i dont have a strong light.

You can always try running carbon to help clean up the water. As far as coral vendors goes, we all have our favorites. I like Top Shelf Aquatics and Cherry Corals for everything corals as they both have a great selection and they both do well in my tank.
 
Some people use in small tanks like yours a surface skimmer with some synthetic wool (in Spanish we call it "perlon", I don´t know if this word exists in English) in it. And change it every 3-4 days. It makes your water crystal clear-
