i have just gotten back into the hobby, and i have decided to go with a 14 gallon biocube and i am looking for suggestions on how the best way to set it up would be. I have had a nano before, but not nano reef.
here's what i have so far: Tank, duh. Everything is stock, and i would preferably like to keep it that way unless you guys think i need to change anything. i was just planning on mainly having softies and a few LPS. 50 watt stealth heater, IO reef crystals, ordered 30 lbs of aragonite oolitic sand. i have most other basics like hydrometer and thermometer.
Here's where i need advice.
1. As far as the filtering in the back goes, what would be my best option? leave what came with it as long as i rinse the media out every week or so? or take all the media out and go with the natural stuff.
2. What size powerhead should i put in the tank to get better flow? i asked this in the reef discussion but i figured you guys might have more input. Right now i am thinking about getting the Koralia 1.
3. is there anything else that i am not thinking about in order to get this thing rolling? thanks in advance for your help.
