So i decided to get back into the hobby after about 7 years. I used to own a 75 Gallon reef but that was a nightmare i had a lot of issues so i sold that setup. I just purchased a Biocube 29 and would like some input on the setup. I plan on having some corals mainly softys and some fish. Currently the setup i have is about a 2 inch sand bed. I put in 1 bad of fine Moonlight sand and 1 bad of Agralive Bimini Pink Sand. The LFS told me to put Live Rock Rubble in the back so i purchased some dead coral rock and ended up in putting it in my main tank and left Chamber to empty. In chamber 1 i removed the floor piece so i can fit my heater and i have a Biocube protein skimmer in there as well. I also have 2 yellow tail damsels in there to cycle the tank. Salinity is at 1.025.

I am thinking of adding a Hydor Koralia Nano Circulation Pump/Powerhead 425gph
to the lower part of the tank pointing at the Live Rock to circulate all the stuff that settles on the rock.

Attached are some pics i would like any suggestions to make this a nice setup, also if i should put anything in Chamber 2 cause its louder since i have nothing to break the water that is falling.
