Tank's looking good. Lots of room for corals :D

I always love the color on young clowns. So orange. Mine have deepened with age, so the female's rusty and the male's quite red.
 
I wish my young clowns would stay still long enough to get a good picture. Those things are fast! Your tank is stating to look good. How old is it now?
 
about 3 months. I am buying more coral on the weekend so I can start to cover everything in it. I am going away for a few days however so I will wait to get my foxface until about 3 weeks.
 
Your Clowns will probably take to your Torch Coral within a week or so.
I couldn't help but notice your hair algae situation. Is it still like that? If so, you want to get that under control before you begin stocking heavily with corals.

Do you have any Blue Let Hermit Crabs? These guys are a must for a reef setup. They are incredible hair algae eaters. I would suggest 3 Blue Legs per 10 gallons of water!

Also, if you are using a filter pad for mechanical filtration, be sure to clean it every day. Twice a day if you can. Personally, I prefer not to use mechanical filtration at all in a reef setup. A dirty filter pad quickly becomes a phosphate factory, which obviously makes algae control difficult.
 
It is going ok from what I can see, the trochus snails are amazing. I pull lots of it off with my fingers and I think it has started to not come anymore, but I am not sure, I'll have to wait and find out. I am not runnig and external filters, just powerheads and a tunze skimmer. Thanks for all you help.
