    Hello everyone. I started this thing last October as a birthday present to my self. Now I am addicted to the saltwater fish and all the options it has. I jumped into this a little fast when i first started and did not do much research.
    Now I have did a little more reading and and waiting on the arrivial of my 29 gal. BioCube. With it i have purchased a sapphire skimmer, Uv sterilizer that fits the bc. My old tank was an eclipse system 12 that is basically a water bowl that i have 20lbs of live rock cureing.

    I would like to have anenomes in the tank and corals. I am not sure what I can do with this tank so I joined this forum to get opinions from other members before i end up throwing away money like i did before.

    Thanks my fellow fish friends.

    Welcome to 3reef and take advantage of all the knowledge.

    What type of light are you getting with the cube?

    Right now I will be using stock lighting that comes with the cube. Will not go all out with mods. This is just the next step untill i can get my main tank set up down the road once i can get out of apparment. But for now i want to get more experience with corals anenomes before i go on a larger scale.
    From what i have seen so far the 72 watts of lights 36w 50/50 and 36w atinic lighting
    is ok for some corals and anenomes but want to make sure from other people who have done this before.

    the best piece of advice you'll get around here as a saltwater newbie is 3Reef's slogan
    "Go slow, let it grow."
