Question

"aqua lighting"

ok about how much watts of light would be perfect for a 29gal reef?

and what type of lighting system would you prefer?

. . . i have a 24" JBJ now and it doesnt seem like enough.

I would say a single 250W 10 or 20 MH would be perfect over a 29 gallon otherwise your choices are somewhat limited.
