Very pretty, and clean. Tell us about it. When set up, what lighting etc. How much rock and sand.
Thanks guys. I have recently added a second clown to the tank and it paired up with my original clown. I noticed the damsel messing with the other fish so after several hours of having a trap set in my tank, I got the little guy out and took if back to the LFS. I have about 27 Pounds of Live Rock in the tank. The lighting is pretty much the standard 29gal oceanic biocube lighting with 2 Coralife compact fluorescent lamps, lunar blue LED lights.

I have a new 29 just like yours that is three weeks old. LR has been in 5 days and is cycling. I can't wait to get to the point you are. I promised myself patience however. How long have you had your tank running and have you done any modifications on your tank?
Well I started the cycling process with about 25lbs of live rock and with the live sand in early September '08 and I waited exactly 4 weeks before i put any fish in. I started with a clown, a firegoby, and 3 little blue-legged hermit crabs. I have added a protein skimmer to the tank made specifically for my 29gal biocube. I have also added HYDOR KORALIA 400gpm powerhead.

You will need to upgrade your lights if you plan on keeping those anemones healthy. I think you also need to up the clean up crew a bit. Try a fighting conch for the sand, they do a great job.

+1 the stock lighting wont support those nems for long at least not healthy. also the conch will clean that sand right up!
oh and great looking tank! good work!

+2 on the anenome in the biocube, I bought a sebae anenome and had it in my biocube 29 for about a month, I then put it in my 75 gallon reef with 6 T5 lights, the sebae anenome was almost white like yours when I moved it to the 75 and now it has its color back and has tripled in size. I know you see alot of those sebae anenome's that are almost white, but they are not suppose to be. Here is a pic of mine now, look how different it is from yours. Hope this helps.

Well what kind of lights should I use. I still want to keep the top of the BioCube. What can I use?
check out nanotuners. but if you really want something nice i would say get rid of the top. and get some T5 HO lights

Nano tuners has some metal halide options for biocube tops. Check them out.
I tried finding them but there was just soo much on the site. Can you please point some out for me? I have a 29Gal Oceanic Biocube
