Mattias,

I wanted to let you know how much you and this thread has helped me with my 29 biocube. Initially, I was thinking of maybe getting into the hobby with a smaller saltwater tank. Naturally, the Biocube seemed to be a good option. After having done general research on saltwater aquariums, I took my search to the next level to find resources specifically regarding the 29 biocube.

I stumbled upon this thread in my search. Your posts modeled the exact same questions I had, thus making this process much less intimidating.

After having read over a hundred pages of posts on here, I was caught up and felt ready to take the next step, ordering. Today, I have all of the components needed to set up the system, most of which I bought based upon your experience. I ordered Marco Rocks, InTank biocube set, and my ATO just like you did.

Tomorrow I am going to work on my aquacscape and, in a few days, begin the cycle. When it comes time to stock, I will be using similar fish to you, as it just happens that they were the ones I wanted. (Clown and YWC. Though I also want a Royal Gramma)

I would not have entered the hobby without this thread.

Thank you.

I think I've decided on my final fish. Pajama cardinal. My mom is in love with them and after all she's done for me and the tank, it's the least I can do.

Female clown: Loretta
Male clown: Cleveland
YWG: mr grumpy gills

Should i add a flame angel as my 4th and final fish?

No, i wouldn't risk it with the corals.

go for it! as long as you keep it fed it shouldn't be an issue.

mmmm. maybe, but i would keep looking for an alternative for your tank.
