FunGuy's 12g nanocube

[FunGuy]

I've not done a tank thread before so here we go. I decided to add more life to my work office. Having had a jbj nanocube, I felt comfortable with them and know they work... Instead of a deluxe model, I decided to try the LED version, which would use less electricity, emit less heat, not require regular bulb changes, etc. Doctors Foster and Smith had it backordered, but with free shipping and a free stand, I decided it was worth the wait. It arrived a few days before the projected backorder date.

Equipment
12 g Nano Cube Next Generation LED Aquariums
Marineland Maxi-Jet PRO 900 instead of stock pump
50w Jager Thermostat Heater in third chamber
Coralife Digital Thermometer - 2nd chamber
Stock sponge in 1st chamber

Livestock
Unknown of lbs of live rock from my home tank
About 9 lbs dead sand

Here are the photos.
It's always exciting to get a new tank, regardless of size.

I chose to put the tank on a large matching file cabinet instead of the free stand based on furniture and space in the office.

The tank is now full of sand, rock and water.

Here are the LEDs in hood.

Here is the tank with the lights on and hood up.

Finally it is aquascaped rockwork, ready for fish and corals.

Now comes the hardest decisions... what corals will I want to keep in here?
