    So, I run a very small retail business at home, a client ordered a 29G bioCube and I purchased it without down payment because he was a "friend" of mine... However, he didn't end up taking the tank and stand. Right before Christmas, I decided to count my losses and set it up, upon opening the box, I realized that the tank had gotten damaged in transit and had a long crack directly on the curve. I got my aquarium guy to repair it, and he did a marvelous job and now, I'm the very proud owner of a 29G Bioube in my bed room... I plan on making it a mixed reef. It's only been set up for three days now... I'm really Loving it!

    Congrats on the new tank. Too bad the friend bailed though.

    Good looking start.

    I posted, and then re-read and saw it had only been 3 days! I am sure the OP knows what they are doing, but obviously this is not something anyone new to the hobby should ever do.

    Thanks everyone. I think I will keep it. Getting very attached... I have 11 SW aquariums in my house and run a service business so I set up/deal with a lot of tanks on a daily basis. So I know what I'm doing. Would usually never put corals in my clients' tanks so soon but I would in my own. I think it's been set up for 5 days now... But yeah, not something newbies should do... Trying to decide on more fish.
    So I'm looking for suggestions.
