    Heres is a pic of the 14g setup, another question though.....I have been cycling my tank for about 2 weeks with the stock filter in the entire time....which ive been reading can be a mistake because of the carbon...Should i leave it in there or would it be best to take out?
    Any adivice would be great! Thanks!

    what kind of filter? HOB ? if so , id use it as a way of more flow, taking out the carbon. use your LR to complete the cycle. and get a protein skimmer.
