I started this tank a while ago, this is an old post on another forum that I though I would update and repost here. Enjoy..
So I picked up a Biocube 14 at J&L's a few days back. I think its the one that came with the upgraded lighting. (also picked up a stand)

Also got around 25LBS of this new "Real Reef Rock", both base and branching.

Here is the tank before I added anything to it, with the stand.

I took out the half bioballs and added a bag of chemipure elite. Not sure if I should take all the bioballs out. any advice anyone? (I took out all the bioballs already)

That is the tank after set up, still very cloudy because of the fine sand I used.

After a day, the water has cleared up and you can get a good view of the aquascape I did with the rock and branches.

My tank is near the windows, although the tempature is just right, it gets a bit of sunlight everyday for a while. Would this cause huge algae problems? because its not to late to find a solution now then be sorry later.
