Your tank is very young at 3 weeks.. 3 fish that quickly is a bit on the fast side and those fish are not cheap. SLOW DOWN, or you could see some bad things happen.. beautiful fish, but just be aware that rushed things in this hobby end bad.... 3 weeks by the way is not cycled.

Im pretty sure those are Picasso Clownfish. Good looking fish though!
I have had 3 different Lfs test my water and two 10+ year reefers say that My tank has cycled. I probably did move a little too fast but ultimately it is my money and my decision on what I do.

Great job!
I did another water test this morning with my ammonia at 0 my nitrite at 0 my nitrate at 10ppm and my ph at 8.2
I will not be adding more fish or coral for at least 2 weeks. I do appreciate everyone's input!!

Tank looks good like the aquascape. Clowns have a sweet pattern.

Hey I was wondering what kind of power heads would be sufficient for my cube. Right now I'm getting around 700gph from my return pump. I was thinking about going to purchase an mp10 to go with my Radeon led light fixture. Would this suffice or would I need 2? Also since I was an idiot and stuck my tank so close to the corner where should I place it? I would prefer to not drop in power heads, but defiantly want to make sure I'm getting enough movement. Thanks for any input.

So I added a few corals the past couple of weeks and a clam the other day. The Tank is starting to come together. I have been testing my water every third day and water changes every other week. This is definitely an addicting hobby that Im fascinated with. I do want to say thank you to everyone that has given me advice as well as letting me be apart of this awesome forum. Sorry about my crappy pictures. Going to try to grab my dads camera next week to get some better pictures. Thanks for looking.

Great looking tank! Keep us updated and lots of pic's.
I'm considering re doing all of my rock work to something that will give me more space for corals and more sand space. What are some things I should watch out for/ consider while doing this. I currently only have 3 fish(2 clowns and small tang). Should I remove them? Should I put my corals in my sump? How cloudy will the tank get? Should I do a water change immediatly after? Thanks for any info!!

i would strongly recommend you look for one or two large rocks instead of several smaller rocks. when i did my 60 gallon, i had two rocks. one was 45 lbs the other was 30 lbs. not only did it give the tank a much more natural feel, but it was far more stable. i think the visual key to these cube tanks is simplicity.
