Biocube 29 Build Advice

[roadkeel]

I have a 29 gallon Coralife Biocube on the way and it should be here at the end of the week. So tomorrow I am going to place an order of necessary upgrades so I can start this tank hopefully close to complete and not have to do many more big mods.

Right now I have on my list a Tunze 9002 Skimmer. I was thinking about making the 2nd chamber a fuge and placing Rubble Rock and chaeto in it. (removing the bio balls). I am on the fence about changing the pump. I am thinking about a Cobalt MJ1200. On the fence about a powerhead as well.

I am a total newbie. So I am thinking about a few fish to begin with (pair of clowns, a goby, a blenny and maybe a cardinal). Maybe a shrimp or two. Will maybe add beginner corals 4-6 months down the road.

Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
