A small update:
I tested the water once again and it's now perfect and ready for fish. I was having a problem with my ph being to low. Also I'm saving up for a new skimmer so hopefully in the nest while I'll purchase a new and bigger one. I should also note that in the last few weeks I've seen more hermit crabs around the tank and rock. I knew there was some but never knew there to be this many. I think there is 24+ in the tank plus some small clams and one crab. I had a problem with one of the overflows in the tank. It was not woking. So I checked it out and found something clogging the intake pipe. I put a barrier so that won't happen again. Now, as for the fish I'm going out on monday to get a cheap $10 or less fish. I saw a few cheap ones like damsels etc.... I don't want to go out and get any large or expensive fish at first only to have them die on me. I'll keep this fish for 2 weeks or so and see how it goes. If no problems then it will be time to move onto the main course. BTW I have seen some people give away free saltwater fish from time to time so if you have any saltwater fish you have to give away shoot me a pm and I'll come get it on monday or whenever.

UPDATE:
So today I went out and bought two "tester" fish for the tank. They are both damsels...very cute fish.  I wanted to get some small cheap yet hardy fish before I go out my main fish. It would suck if I spent $200 dollars on a fish only to have it die on me. I'm going to keep these fish a week or so and see how they do. After that I'll sell them for cheap or give them away....depending if I can catch them or not...I bought these two at IPU, together the fish were around $10 so the price was right. I put them in this afternoon and both are doing fine. They don't hide like I thought they would. I also stopped off at JL but no fish caught me eye there. Although I did get more salt and $55 worth of saltwater fish food including NLS,frozen, and freeze dried foods...I kind of foods we do not sell were I work. Anyways these fish seem to like red shrimp...they eat lots already. Here is a video of my first saltwater fish.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88m_4lGEX_w
