    i put the bioballs in the third compartment, left the first compartment alone, put live rock rubble on the bottom of third compartment, and chaeto on top of that, and flooded the back compartments, its 8g biocube, any other good ideas, or suggestions, or mods, thanks

    I would put a skimmer in the first compartment and then do something about the lights. I just removed the lid all together and put a T5 fixture on.

    I would sugguest taking out the bio balls, and do you have a light on the chaeto? I have a 24 bio but I didn't feel like getting a light back there so I eventually put a sump under the tank using two return pumps.
