Nice looking tank .... But is it just me or is that a LOT of fish for a 14g cube??

I think that's a lot of fish for 14g. I have a 12g nano and I never keep more than two fish at a time. But that's just been my experience.
 
Are you running a skimmer on the Cube? Also what type of Coral do you have? I Love the Cave as well!!

Are there any good nano skimmers out there? I've heard mixed reviews on the nano ones. If there's a good one, I'd be interested to know!
 
I just did a little research and I was going to suggest the CPR SR3, But it looks like thats only for the 29 B-C.. Unless someone else knows of any for a 14G, The only one I know of is the Oceanic Bio Cube Skimmer. Which I used on a 29 When I first started and I threw it out because it never did a thing.. Maybe often Water Changes would be your best bet?
 
I think unless you're willing to out in an extra sump the oceanic is about the only one that'll it in the bc14.
 
I have the Oceanic one for my 29g, it doesn't seem to do much. I took it out and added better filtering with the InTank media basket and regular water changes
 
I am using the oceanic nano skimmer with great results.

When I was trying to figure it out, Their were videos on YouTube and their were some people that were getting it to work. So It may be worth a shot I just think it works for far fewer people than it should. Good Luck!!
 
I do recommend changing the air stone frequently and adding a inline air control valve to adjust the flow of air on the skimmer.
