Setting up 8 Gallon Bio-Cube

[Snowsrfr]

My 8 gallon Oceanic Bio-Cube should be arriving in the next few days and am looking for a little advice setting it up. I'm mainly curious it see what people are putting in the filter area of their bio-cubes. Using the filter packs, changing that out for live rock and chaeto, etc? Also, can someone recommend a good tiny powerhead that I can put in my cube for a little added circulation? I'm sure there are more ?'s to follow, but I'll start with those for now. Thanks.

I have a lot of live rock rubble in the center chamber, as for the first chamber I use the filter pad stuff that you can cut out of a larger sheet...only because I can't find the replacements yet. If you put chaeto in the middle you might want to add a light over the top or what some people have done is cut out a part of the back cover and put a light shining through the back glass on it.

I have had the tank up for around 2 months now and absolutely love it!
