Hey everyone. New to the saltwater world. I just bought an up and running oceanic 14 gallon biocube.

Upgrades.

Nano protein skimmer
Nano power head

Live stock.

Added 8lbs live rock
Pair of clowns
1 domino damsel
1 cleaner shrimp
5 read claw hermit crabs
5 turbo snails
1 hairy mushroom

Will post pics tomorrow. I'm new to the saltwater side so any tips or comments are welcomed.
Thanks

Stopped by World Wide Corals today on the way home from work and picked up a small torch tip. Pics coming later...

so it begins!
welcome to the addiction, i like the scape!
My only piece of advice would be to take the damsel back! They are super territorial and especially in a smaller set up he will kill anything new that comes in once he grows up.

The damsel came with the tank when I bought it. I added a small cleaner shrimp and they get along great. If the damsel is going to be a problem what should I do with him?

It works pretty good. I added an inline air valve so I can adjust the flow accordingly. Right now I still have the bio balls in chamber 2. Looking to purchase the intank media basket in the next week or so and getting rid of the bio balls.

This is my old thread from when I first got the tank. I have another thread that is more current. You should check it out for some ideas.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
