If you keep a lightly stocked tank (Max 2-3 fish), the biocube skimmer will do the job IMO. Because it's only 14 gallons, the most important thing is a weekly WC. Look on YouTube for "mods" people will do to their biocubes. There is some pretty neat stuff people will do to their filtration to make it better. Yeah, make sure you take the mag float out of the water after cleaning the glass. If you get green star polyps (gsp), put it on an island on your substrate. Some people will even put gsp on the back wall. They grow fast and will drown out any other corals you you'll get. Don't worry too much about the algea growth at the moment. Diatoms are part of the cycle. Just beware of bubble, dino, bryopsis, hair, cyano (technically bacteria), and other types of bad algea. Only reason to get them is if they are introduced by accident. I would stay clear from anemone and SPS coral for at least a good 6 months. They can be very delicate to changes in water parameters. You may even need to upgrade the lighting if you choose to go that route.Do you have any skimmers that you recommend? And do you mean my mag float? I do not have an algae clip right now.
