Hello and welcome to the hobby!!!

Sounds like you are off to a great start. Depending on the quality of your Live Rock, the cycle could have been small and quick. You may not have seen it happen, but it sounds like if its been up for over 2 months the cycle would have come and gone.

I do not know how much flow your powerheads are giving you, but you may want to add more. It's rather surprising how much flow your stuff really wants.

As for adding fish, Percs get along with almost everything, (although they can be territorial around smaller fish) Flame angels are a great choice but watch that they don't nip your corals. I do not know alot about snowflake eels, but my guess is that they will most likely eat anything they can fit in their mouths. Eels are fairly messy creatures and aren't usually a great idea for reef aquariums where great water parameters are needed for optimal conditions for sensitive corals.

You may want to increase your cleanup crew as well. Snails and hermit crabs tend to disappear (at least they do in my tank) I try to have 1 snail per gallon of water. Others may suggest less than that though, and I stock mine with mostly Nasarrius sp? Snails.

Post some pics and keep us updated!
