Finally, just set up my biocube 14 today. It will be mostly softies. Maybe just one clown and the rest will be inverts.

What I have in:
Dry sand, dry rocks, 50% water from DT tanks. 50% mixed water.
20k par38 ( it might awhile to power it up. Try to contol the alfae bloom)

Added some rubbles LR for filtration and to seed the tanks.

So far, have not add carbon. Maybe tomorrow!

Not planning to add skimmer cause I will be doing WC every week.

If you have some advise or suggestion, it will be my pleasure.

So far no livestocks added. Hoping the cyle will go fast since everthing started from scratch.

So here are some pics:

Really have a good flow. Just the return pump was already enough. But I have 2 nano powerhead (425, 240) running just to remove the cloudiness quickly. Will remove the 240 gph nano as soon as the tank cycled.
Thanks again for the nano ph. Next time you are in Chula, just lmk. Will be happy to show you the tank.

Ok..so last night I checked my water quality and ammo=0 / nitrate=0. Just to make sure, I did a second check and the results were the same.
I started moving few of my corals from the DT and here it is. Open for any inputs. Thanks for looking!
