I am so excited! I finally ordered my Biocube 29, stand, and other supplies! They should arrive on November 15-18. I have researched all of this for so long it is not even funny. I am modding it so that i take out everything in the second chamber and make a fuge. I am having bags of carbon, chemipure elite, and purigen.
Once I have the tank running, I am ordering 20 lbs of Pukani Dry Rock and 30 lbs of Aragonite. And then the cycle begins...
My eventual stocklist will be:
2 B&W Clownfish
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Green Clown Goby
I would also like 2 fire shrimp with my CUC, corals, and you can't forget the Green BTA :}
Once I have the refugium set up for a while and a pod population, I will try for a blue mandarin. But that is in the distant future LOL.
This is not my first reef tank, so I know the rules/regulations  I have a 90 gallon reef in my living room. And numerous freshwater communities.
Any comments are welcome!!! Thanks for reading!

If I can find a cheap one. I would prefer an ORA, but a wild one may have to suffice if I can't find an ORA one for $60 or less in a few months.

For some reason the stand arrived today. Nothing else. Well at least I have time to set up the stand before the tank gets here already got the doors set up.
After 2+ hours on my Earth Science paper, this seems fun.

Finished the stand. Looks awesome. I think I have every color of furniture in my room now. Light brown chair, dark brown bed posts, reddish brown desk, white desk chair. And now a black fish tank stand. Any internal designer would kill me haha.

The tank still hasn't come yet. I saw a few really small boxes but I didn't have time to open them. I am at my brothers basketball practice. Probably the skimmer, heater, or one of the other 6 small things I ordered with the tank. :/ it's killing me knowing there is something at home.
