Damn, i cant believe they finally updated it. Biocube HQI plus they include the skimmer and they just released a uv sterilizer that connects to the pump. That would be my first addon.
A Complete System for Saltwater/Reef Environments:
Biocube HQI offers an aesthetically appealing design and high quality components that make reef-keeping easier and rewarding. The key component is the HQI metal halide light which provides the high intensity lumen output preferred by reef-keeping enthusiasts. Now you can create a thriving coral reef with a broad variety of organisms including small polyp stony (SPS) corals and Tridacna clams. read more....

I had to post this cause its such a sweet deal. Marine Depot is selling the 28Gallon JBJ nanocube with power compacts with the stand and free shipping for $299.99.
That is outstanding if you are in the market for a new aquarium right now. I just thought i’d throw it out there.

The saddleback clownfish can be found in the eastern parts of the Indian and the Western parts of the Pacific oceans. Like most clownfish, they are most often observed living in a symbiotic relationship with a host anemone for protection and in the wild are most often seen in association with Stichodactyla haddoni (Saddle carpet anemone) or Heteractis crispa (Sebae anemone).
Appearance
Color ranges from dark brown to yellow orange with a thick white bar located just behind the eyes. A large white abbreviated saddle shape or slanted white bar across the middle of the fish’s body makes it quite obvious to see how it got the name Saddleback [1]. In some varieties, typically those specimens initially associated with H. crispa anemone[1], the saddle shape may extend up onto the fish’s Dorsal fin with a third white bar or margin located across the caudal peduncle (pictured in taxobox).
Melanistic variation has also been partially correlated with the fish’s host anemone. Specimens associated with H. crispa tend to be darker than those associated with S. haddoni. Aquarium specimens have been observed becoming lighter or darker after accepting a new host anemone species, sometimes within a few hours. read more....
