that's great and it sound to be the route we want to take as far as we looking to house in this tank.I have a 24 nano cube with 3 fish, zoas, xenia, frogspawn, candy cane etc. The hood is the JBJ nanocube led hood, the back compartment has the typical 2 black sponges, and ceramic noodles. The only true addition was a reactor with chemi pure in it. Overall that seems to be enough, just need to keep up with water changes and you should be fine IMO.
