Sweet rock setup! Just make sure its nice and stable. Wouldn't want an avalanche to crack your nice BC...

looking good so far. how's much noise does the filter chamber make from water overflowing?

If you ditch the bioballs and fill the back chambers up to the top, its quiet.

Thanks. Do you know of some kind of epoxy that can be applied underwater?

I removed the bio balls and filled the center chamber. It is very quiet.

Great start. What are your stocking plans?

Not sure yet. I guess my next step is to get a clean up crew. Any suggestions? I have seen some shrimp that look pretty cool. Are those good for a clean up crew?

...and would a starfish be considered part of a cleanup crew? I have a link to some "nano" star fish.

Another newbie with a 29gl Bio Cube

I am new to this too and also have a 29gl Bio Cube. I just finished my cycling and now have 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish & 6 Hermit Crabs. Lost 1 Blue/Green Chromis but he was sketchy from day one. The Beauty loves the caves so I keep it pretty open with lots of tunnels for him but love your setup as well. A friend is decomm'ing his tank at work so in 2 weeks I'll be adding 2 clowns and a rose anemone. Can't wait. I'll post pictures soon. Heard starfish are hard to keep.... but they are SOOO nice!

For a cleanup crew, you can't go wrong with hermits and turbo/astrea snails. I have those plus cerith, nerite, and nassarius snails. You could go with cleaner shrimp when you get fish to keep them clean. Emerald crabs are good too. Just do some research to find what is best for you.
