    Welcome! Those clown fish look so tiny in that big tank /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif I would get a bit more rock for starters.......what types of coral were you interested in? What do you have for lights and filtration?

    Welcome to the boards. Looks like your off to a pretty good start. Since your going with the compacts I take it your planning on doing softies and lps? You might want to get that bak pak on the sump cause you might run into micro bubble issues with it hanging on the tank.

    Welcome to the club....yes, "taking it slow" is the best way to go...can help prevent a lot of issues....although I admit that I haven't always followed that advice !!

    i wanted to keep it slow...then I got excited and now my BioCube29 is pretty well full...it is a ton of fun and am already jealous of people with larger tanks...

    Welcome to the site...like your tank so far and it will be cool to see what happens in the future with it!
