check on craigslist for a used one, otherwise most lfs should carry them, although Im no were near you, so it could be different down here in Texas

there are so many ways to mod a biocube. i know that so will take out the center section and put in some LR rubble, and so cheato. some will put in a protein skimmer. its really how you want to set it up. if you put like 30lbs of lr in the DT then you could put just the protein skimmer.

i would say oogle it and you would be in the right direction. i think its a good filter for pulling something out of the water. i have/currently using the 14g bio with just the carbon filter and the bioballs in there. i haven't had a chance to mod it yet. but its running fine. it has lots LR in it so im not to worried

thanks guys, now on the question of fish, i was thinking of a pair of small clowns, like these guys, Black & White Ocellaris Clownfish, a dwarf flame angel, and Hi Fin Red Banded Goby with the appropriate shrimp, plus the standard hermits and what not, especially Electric Blue Hermit Crab, i love the way these guys look, and possibly a Debelius' Reef Lobster, does anyone have any comments on these guys? i mean, is it too much in the way of inverts? or fish? or whatnot? lol again, i am totally noobish, so i want all the advice i can get my hands on LOL

sounds alright to me the black and white clowns can be agressive but they should be alright. most people would probably say not to put an angel in a nano but if you get the 34g red see max it would be no problem

i think that that might be to many fish for a 29g. i would start a new thread on that question. you would get more answers that would lead you in the right direction.

I don't think I would chance the lobster. Could get nasty. Just build it up slow and stock slow and enjoy.
