Default BioCube 14 Setup - Noob

Hi. I'm brand new to the hobby and just purchased a Biocube 14. What type of corals can I successfully take care of with the standard lighting system? Does the standard power head produce enough flow and how should I direct it?

I'm waiting patiently for a month for everything to get established. Any recommendations on initial guests in my tank would be appreciated.

Thanks

Scott

You probably won't be able to keep the high light demanding corals or clams but I have an Aquapod 12 & find the lights are too bright for mushrooms. Most people with cubes tend to swap out the retun pump & replace it with a MJ 1200 for additional flow. You could add a small ph inside the display area for additional flow if need be.
For that size tank you're going to want small fish like clowns, firefish, clown goby or yellow watchman goby.
