Here are some pics of my biocube that I am enjoying very much! I have upgraded a lot on it. I have about 25lbs ls and 30lbs lr. Here is my upgrade list:
Media rack: floss+pura-pad, purigen,chemi-pure elite; Fuge rack w/ chaeto in ch 2. 100w heater and maxi-jet 1200 in camber 3. Also stock sponge and carbon on top of sponge. Removed elbow on return outlet and used straight tube for more flow, Loc-line y fitting w/2 return nozzles. Oceanic 250gph powerhead. Fish saver. New bulbs and soon to add marineland 18" reef led fixture along with stock lights

My livestock includes: 3 blue leg hermits, and 2 emerald crabs. 1 brittle star, 1 blue linkia star. 2 cerith snails, 3 nassarius snails, 2 Astrea snails, 2 nerite snails. 2 peppermint shrimp. false perc clown, black and white clown. Feather duster, candy cane frag, star polyps, leather finger coral, a zoanthid frag, and pulsing Xenia

What do you guys think? Any advice or tips?

Very nice start. Love the blue linkia star! How many gallons is your set up. My only advice is to be patient, keep routine water changes and enjoy.
 
A lot has happened since I started this thread. I have added the Aquaticlife 115 skimmer in chamber 1. Media rack w/floss, purigen, and chemi-pure elite. Fuge rack with chaeto. DIY fuge light on back. I added a 21x1watt led fixture to the stock lights. I am also vodka dosing. I have added a black and white clown, brittle star, emerald crab, 2 peppermint shrimp, firefish, bangaii cardinal, engineer goby, fromia star, lettuce nudibranch, featherduster and various snails. I had a false perc clown but it disappeared. For coral I have gsp, colt leather, toadstool leather, ricordia mushrooms, other mushrooms, a lobo, acropora, pulsing Xenia, and frogspawn. I have some acan, favia, and candy cane frags. Everything is going very nicely. I got my own ro/di unit and use instant ocean reef crystals. I dose kent nano parts a and b. I target feed all my hard corals about 3 times a week. I plan on doing a total led fixture using 3watt LEDs in the near future. Here are some updated pictures.
