Hello!
I've got a 29g Bio-Cube, too. Do you have any pics of your lighting and skimmer setup? Have you taken you bio balls out?
Thanks for the pics!!!
The Skimmer is a Aquatic Life Internal Mini Skimmer 115 It sits in chamber 1, in chamber two I have a media rack( I run Purigen and Chemi-Pure Elite ) and a fuge basket with Chaeto, I have a Coralife Mini Aqualight T-5 Dual Lamp Fixture on the back that gives light for the Chaeto
.. As far as Bio-balls go this system doesn't come with them. I believe the original bio-cubes do but this is the HQI version. i will take pics at some point this weekend for you! (lights are off) The Skimmer is a PITA to get into chamber 1...It's pulling a bit more skim ate but still not what i was hoping for.

Very nice! Take pics with that camera from now on! Haha
I think another fish would be fine, as long as it is small and peaceful. I do NOT recommend a six line wrasse as was mentioned above. They are small, but most are very aggressive and trying to catch them is darn near impossible once they become little monsters. The yellow assessor, a small flasher or fairy wrasse, or something similar would be a better option. Stay away from the "lined" wrasses, they tend to be the aggressive ones.
The six line is not going in the tank no worries there.. My main concern is the Flame Hawk fish, and finding a fish that's compatible with him. I would like a Gobie or a Firefish, not too sure. Any recommendations ?

I've got a 6-line and he does great with my clown. You find them swimming with each other frequently.

http://www.zyy.com/In BioCube, than any other tank, I had left it inches with curved glass, I think it makes the combination of flat, so that they really will not last long / clean and efficient. Then let the sand in every now and then ... Oh! I do not even use the magnet BioCube.

so my Zoos have not seemed very happy for the last few days... The Heads have been opening and closing randomly...and tonight when i came home from worked they were all closed. then when my moonlights came on i discovered a NewtyBranch, that was on a rock above them. Guess that's what i get for not setting up a QT... Believe me i will not make that mistake again. so my plan for attack is to take the zoos out of the tank and hopefully pull off any of the eggs. I'm pretty sure the newty came from my newest Zoo addition i bought at MAX. thought i was getting the frag from a reputable dealer.
