Hi everyone! I'm brand new here, and I've just set up my first saltwater tank. (I had a couple freshwater tanks years ago.) I'm working on a nano reef in a Biocube 29 and I've done a lot of research and home work up to this point and everything's going real well. Just added 25 lb. of live rock and a pair of green chromis over the last week and the tank is acting like it's already cycled! (No, I won't rush back to the lfs for more livestock, and, yes, I'll keep testing daily for ammonia, and nitrite, and nitrate.)
I removed enough of the "deck" in chamber one to allow for installation of the heater. The Oceanic protein Skimmer is also in chamber one, and, for now, the bio balls are in chamber 2 because I just can't decide what, if anything, to put in there. If I spend more money on live rock, it's going in the tank where I can see It! Chaeto with the sub fuge light running opposite the tank lighting seems like a pain. I guess I've always liked the "techie" stuff so I'm thinking about a UV sterilizer. Maybe this - http://www.nanotuners.com/product_in...roducts_id=319
Any thoughts? I'm wondering if I'll need to mod the barrier between chamber 1 & 2 to get more water flowing.
