WOO-HOO!!! I got a....

....29 gallon Oceanic Biocube for Christmas that my girlfriend gave me! I had a 10gallon when I was married, but the ex didn't like the $$$ spent on it. My girlfriend is about as excited as I am!
Question:
Do I need to clean it out with something before I start filling it?
I'm going to buy distilled water from the grocery store to do my initial fill. Is that ok?
Our plan is to do a fish with coral set up. I know it's not a metal halide bulb, so what coral/invert limitations do I have? I see a lot of clams in people's nano's and it confuses me.
Lastly,...we'll be moving in about 2 years. Has anyone ever moved a nano before?
Thanks again to your replies!!! Good to be back in the hobby again! Hope everyone had as good as a Christmas present as I did!!!

Question:
Do I need to clean it out with something before I start filling it? I would rinse it out real good with plain tap water.
I'm going to buy distilled water from the grocery store to do my initial fill. Is that ok? They should have RO water.

You can keep low light corals like mushrooms and zoas, but you can also upgrade the lighting on the Bio Cube. Check out some of the threads in this section and you can get some insight on different mods that can be done.
Lastly,...we'll be moving in about 2 years. Has anyone ever moved a nano before? I look at moving as an awesome time to upgrade. Moving a nano tank is not too complicated, just involves some buckets, water and lifting (I make it sound so easy).
