Well if I expect to get help I guess I need to let folks know what I have.
The tank is a Wallyworld special 29 gallon measuring 30.5"wide by 18.5"tall by 12.5"deep (front to back that is)
The HOB skimmer job by ViaAqua has been retired to the dump. I was sick of all the micro bubbles. I replaced it with a spare Whisper 30-60. I run it wide open with only the sponge filteres for
mechanical filtration. Ocasionally I'll put the carbon filters in for a day. I want to run Phosgaurd once in a while as well. I will make up for the lack of a skimmer with more frequent water changes.
(I salvaged the venturi powerhead and plan to make a skimmer here in the near future)
I have also added a Wallyworld powerhead for added circulation. It moves 120gph. I adjust the stream baffle daily to keep the current going different places.
(I just put in an order for four Rio 50's to be run on a wave timer)
My lighting is provided by two 40watt NO aquarium bulbs.
(coming soon two CustomSeaLife PC quads)
