Hey Ryan,
I have a 33g & I think if I had to do it all over again, I would upgrade immediately to a 66g. You very quickly run out of space in a 33 since you have a footprint of only 3 sq. feet. If you stick with the 33g, check out the difference in lighting & price between a 96w & 2*55w. I'm very happy with my 96w, but I found the 65w not bright enough, especially 50:50s by Corallife. 55w would be even dimmer. Go to the LFS & have them plug it in for you so you can do a side-by-side comparison.
Also, as suggested in another posting, start smaller with the clean-up crew & add more as you need since your tank may not have enough algae & detritus to support everything & some then starve to death & pollute your tank.
Larger water volume also makes for a more forgiving setup. Just my $.02.
Regardless, have fun with the setup.
Anthony
