    I just wanted to say hello to everyone and to thank you for the great posts. I have been reading up on SW aquariums and getting more information before jumping in to the hobby.

    I am finally ready to setup my aquarium. I am starting off with a nano reef. I purchased the following:

    29g BioCube
    BioCube Protein Skimmer
    Hydor Koralia 1 (additional 400 gph - is this too much?)
    50W Heater
    25lbs Live Rock
    Live Sand

    I am still waiting for everything to come in, but I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions as to sand depth, amount of live rock, and water flow, and placement of heater and koralia. Thank you.

    To 3Reef!!!     ​


    Salutations! Glad to see you found way here!

    Wow...looks like you all the right stuff for a great start.

    That Hydor Koralia is going to be allot of flow for a 29g.

    Mix salt, put in LR & get to cycling! ---

    Keep us posted on progress.

    Good Luck.

    Thank you. I am just waiting for the rocks to come in and will start the cycling. :)

    I was afraid that might be the case... the biocube comes with stock 316 gph... I might switch it out for a koralia nano (240 gph)...

    i think a korallia 1 would be great in a 29gallon. more flow the better, just dont way overdo it.

    Haha... thanks aquaboy... actually short for miguel... everyone calls me migs.

    Also on the koralia 1... i think i can lessen the flow if it is too much by directing to the glass and help dissipate the volume... not sure if it will work though...
