Now I need to decide what to put in it. I was thinking a majestic angel and a maroon clown but not sure what else.
Any suggestions ?

Also was thinking bumble bee and margarita snails with some red hermits.

What will get along with all these guys?
thanks

I'm guessing you decided not to get the Red Sea Max.

Nice purchase, I love to look of the Cube tanks. Unfortunately it is probably not big enough for a Majestic Angel, as they need at least an 80-90 gallon tank.

"Although the Majestic Angelfish is one of the smaller "large" angelfish, it still requires an aquarium of at least 90 gallons to comfortably grow into an adult."

Here is a good link to search for your fishes habitat requirements

I also use the rule of thumb to add 20 gallons to what the minimum tanks size is for larger fish. So if they say "The Orange Butterfly prefers a tank of at least 60 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim." It probably is 80 gallons. After all if we're taking fish out of the Ocean and putting them in our tanks, it's the least we can do to make sure their new home is satisfactory :D

I bought my wife Irene her own 2' cube tank as well for her fancy goldfish tank. However, I also told her that as soon as she gets bored with them, I'm selling off the poop machines and turning it into a clownfish/carpet anemone display cube:biggrin:
