Hello everyone....
I'm about 7 months into my first salt water adventure, and with plenty of help from my LFS I've had a pretty successful journey thus far, with relatively few hiccups. I have a 32G Biocube. I've fough a little aiptasia, and understand I will for the duration of the tank as I took the easy path of buying live rock instead of starting with dry, even though I had plenty of patience to do dry, I just wanted to eliminate another chance of making a mistake along the way.
My victories are all coral have been doing great, 4 types of Zoa's, Frogspawn, Duncan all started from frags, and have been doing great. I have a mandarin, who I have been continuing to buy pods and phyto for the pods to eat, and she has been doing great. A Blue Flasher Wrasse, and an Adorned Wrasse, with a pair of Oscelaris and a hi fin goby I haven't seen his body in so long I can't remember his species or what his body looks like.
Gear is a Nanoskimmer, in the second chamber. FIrst chamber is heater, floss and Marine Pure media balls. Chamber 3 is the return and Chemipure. I have a PP4 pump just to get me started.
I'm looking to a light to be my next upgrade... I've seen about 7-8 options on lights for these cubes, however I'm wondering if there is something I've missed. I am looking for an option that would allow me to keep the noise of this skimmer down, and use a a light of my choice.
So far the options I've seen would mean leaving the skimmer exposed, and noisy... not an option I'm thrilled about. Or an option like Steve's that would require mounting a light, that I'm not too sure of the specs on, into my current hood. I will add a post with photos shortly.
Thanks!

Sounds great.
