So I'm about to set up my 29 Biocube after finally breaking down and buying a 96W T5HO fixture that will arrive this week along with a K1. Everything else is standard, except there's no top of course. Unfortunately I don't think the tank will be ready to stock in time for the contest, but there's not a whole bunch of free time and the holidays are upon us and I don't want to 'hurry up' anything.
I've only been doing this for a few years, but I've learned my lessons and will wait until the tank tells me it's ready.

Here's my issue: With my Aquapod I trashed the bioballs and filled the chamber with rock rubble, but I have a friend (my boss as a matter of fact) who swears by them and used them with his Biocube and his 90G reef. I was wondering what nano owners here did. BTW - I have already extracted the bioballs and put them in a plastic Kroger bag.
