New 29G BioCube for Saltwater, Any pointers

[devonpayne24]

I just got my first salt-water tank set up last night, and I have read a lot into this whole adventure about mods for the cube and different things to look/watch for. I am wanting to do both reef and fish !

I am open for any pointers, and will try to get pics up soon.

 

As of now, I have about 20 lbs of live sand, 20.6 lbs of live rock, and everything is stock so far.

 

Any help would be awesome.

The Biocube resource guide in my sig is going to be your best place to check into what has worked for most.

Im reading everything I can find, and trying to learn fast.. Its an exciting process, much more interesting than my freshwater tank ! (I still love my freshwater though)

I have the peice cut out between 1st and 2nd chamber, helps the flow a lot better. And Just added my heater to chamber one, and its working great.

Ive had a few new critters come from my Live Fiji rock, I dont know what they are, some are these inch long clear worm looking things coming from openings in the rock... Does anyone know what this is??

not sure without a pic but probably a bristle worm? if theyre really small they look clear (its really just the bristles)

Thanks,

I also woke up this morning to find a starfish looking guy crawling around on the bottom on my tank. Little body with long black arms. Pretty awesome !
