Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Stand came and I built it, seems sturdy. Do you guys think I should put a piece of plywood or something on top of the metal or is it good as is? Also it will be in a room with carpet. Should I put something on the bottom or is it fine to have my sump on the carpet. This thing will be enclosed eventually.

I like wood personally.

Wood looks good but isn’t a must have.
 
Is the skimmer still filthy?

Don't forget to clean the pump on the inside!
Haven’t cleaned it yet but I’m gonna soak in vinegar/RODI, take the pump apart, clean it. Should be like new hopefully. It only had 6 months of use on it.

Haha, I meant the one I sent Katrina! But that's also good to know :D

Break in period is a pain after a full clean like that, but such is life!


Also, how do you like the Brooklyn stand? I'm fairly sure that's what that stand is!
