It looks great so far! Lots of room for corals to be placed. Love the open space in the front... great place to put a brain coral, plate coral, some zoas...
Are you gonna try to put the heater in the back? Maybe move some rubble to the side and let the heater fit in chamber one somehow? I have a 100w visi-therm stealth heater and it's too tall to be totally submerged in the first chamber, but I put it back there and it does it's job and the top still closes!
Your set-up looks good so far! Can't wait to see more pics as your tank progresses!

When are you going to add some corals? Looks like you're okay to start adding some easy corals... mushrooms, green star polyps... whatcha waitin' for?

I like what you have so far, What do you have for cleaning crew? I would add some easy corals for sure! I just set my biocube 3 weeks ago. I have 3 emerald crabs, 4 scarlet hermits, 4 turbo snails, 2 blue leg hermits, and 3 of the sand moving snail, I don't remember what they are called.....
Let me know what you decide!

Definitely get the clean up crew set up. My best algae eaters are my Mexican Turbo Snails.
For corals, I would start with zoos. Get a couple of different colors and watch them spread. Very cool.
What kind of lights you got? It says stock flouscent, but what is that? That will determine what other coral you can get (LPS or SPS).
How about fish, have you decided on fish? A 29 could probably have 3 or 4 fish. 4 would be pushing it, depending on the mature size of each fish. Be sure to QT the fish (I just had a fish die in QT with Ich, had I added him to my tank, all of my fish would be in trouble).
Looks great!
