I bought this 12 gallon Nano Cube Deluxe when I came across it last night at midnight.

Awesome deal and the stand comes free.

WHat I am asking here is what do most people do when they get one? I mean, I know people add and replace parts before they actually start the tank. I would like to buy whatever items I should use now, so this way I can add them to the tank right when I get it.

THanks and I know you will be hearing alot from me. I will be posting pics and asking alot of questions!

First Off, Welcome to Nanotank.com :D

It really depends on what you want to keep. Do you want to do FOWLR (fish only with live rock) or reef? If you do reef, do you want to do softies, LPS or SPS? What most people do is add a maxijet 1200 in the back chamber for more flow, and some people add a hydor water deflector unit to help randomize the flow.

you will need about 1-2 pounds of Live Rock per gallon, and if you want live sand, about 1 pound per gallon will work.

If you want to upgrade the lights, nanocustoms.com have great DIY kits too.

If you have anymore questions, just ask, quite a few members here have nanocube 12s, (me included)

Hope to help
Brandon
