29 gallon Biocube it's all I have space for at the moment I wanted to purchase a 20 long but I needed something that could fit in a small area/ corner. Next post will be my stand I am in the process of building it and will be done in the afternoon.

From your pic of all the stuff you have on hand it looks like you've been doing your research. Best wishes with the tank!

Good selection of purchases, the only thing you should return is the biocube brand skimmer. It's really not a good skimmer and to be honest, you probably don't need it if you don't over stock and do regular water changes.

Take this opportunity to shape your rocks to the Aqua scape you will love. Use a hacksaw, chisel, or what ever you can to shape it. Good luck and welcome to the hobby

Overstocking gets the best of us let's be honest ;)
