My BioCUBE Progression - Youtube Videos - Input Welcome

Hello All,
I previously posted this: http://www.3reef.com/forums/say-hello/first-post-video-updated-3-2010-a-83486.html in the 'Say Hello' forum, and have added some update footage to youtube. I was hoping to get some input/critique on where I should go from here from the awesome members of 3reef. All positive or negative input is welcome, and will be appreciated. Please don't hold back, I'm fairly new to the world of reef keeping, and open to any advice at all.

Update #3 (Most Recent) YouTube - Daisy Polyps & Frogspawn BioCUBE

Thanks!

 

i only watched the last video, but nice job. how old is the tank?

rock work looks good, do you have any powerheads in there? from that video it looks like the only flow in the tank is from the return pump.

thats one big blue velvet damsel.

 

I like the rock work you did, how long has the tank been established? Is this a 14 gallon? Sorry not a member of utube so I could only view Update 3. What I did with my Biocube 29:

1) In chamber one popped open middle floor and place (2) heaters. One is just a backup. Also the intake for my chiller is pulled from here. I clipped the plastic so that more water runs from chamber 1 to chamber 2.
2) Middle chamber removed bioballs and placed in a SR3 skimmer (works amazing).
3) Upgrade return pump to a Rio 800, added the Oceanic UV light, Most of my sensors are in this chamber, return from chiller, and my ATO sensor.

Looks like a great start, I love Frogspawn!

 

The tank is about 1.5 months old, and yes, the only flow in the tank is that return pump. I figured it'd be sufficient since the BioCube isn't that big. I left the area near the pump open for coral that requires a stronger flow. The rock work was placed with the intention of an aquatic live rock version of the Taj Mahal.... even tho it doesn't quite look that way.

 

Might want to add a Koralia Nano. Even in my 8 gallon it does not create tons of flow but does help circulate the water and create surface movement.

 

introduce more flow to the system and those bubbles on the back wall and anywhere else should dissapear. gas exchange is quite limited in these biocubes so good surface movement and movemnt in the tank are needed. skimmers can also bring oxygen to the water on top of what they do for cleaning the water.

 

Thanks for the input guys... I do have a protein skimmer running, but worried about adding anything to the main tank that doesn't look natural. Can the Koralia Nano be hidden easily? What about the wires?
