Happy New Year Everyone! I purchased a 32 gallon biocube a couple of weeks ago. So far so good. I have 20 pounds live sand, about 25 pounds of live rock, and 3 small damsels. I figured out the lighting times (actually read the directions) and salinity, water temperature, readings are all good.

Lots of info out there, wanted to get informed opinions on stocking options, timeframes, etc. and where folks get their livestock from.

Thank you all!

Welcome, glad you are here! I’ve had my 32g Biocube set up for over a 2 years. Click on my tank thread, go through my build and then hit me up with any questions you might have, I’ll be happy to help.

I would get those damsels out asap. If one is a yellowtail blue damsel he can stay. Those fish are generally pretty benign. When your tank gets settled and things start doing well you're going to want to add some nicer fish and those damsels might be problematic.
