29g update


Hi Hobbyists,
Recently, I removed my 2 rio powerheads and replaced them with 3 MJ600's and the RedSea Wavemaster. All inhabitants are enjoying the increased/varied currents the wavemaster creates. Also, instead of purchasing water, I can produce my own with the Spectrapure MPDI 60gpd RODI unit(a good investment).

Take Care,

M

Hey Mambo,
Those are great additions, especially the RO/DI.
I agree that your tank is ready for the upgrade! Those two tangs need a big tank, especially the Hippo!
