Hello All, Back in the hobby again. It been about 10 years since my 36 gallon bow front saltwater tank and a lot has change since then. Bought a 29 gallon tank last year on sale to do a freshwater planted tank but my good buddy TIM224DT convince me otherwise to do another saltwater tank. So...

Did anyone else have this problem with their first tank? Tell me I'm not crazy! :arg: I've spent so much time trying to get my tank ready for fish and I'm real nervous about adding that first one! I have been working on a 29 gallon tank. Long story short - I started this tank about 7 or 8...

Hey everyone. I'm new around this forum, but I signed up with the sole purpose of asking a question, but with all the knowledge available here I plan on sticking around. I have a 29 gallon biocube that I'm getting ready to be a reef tank. I've got 27 lbs of dry rock in it now, as well as 4 blue...

Started a 29 gallon with a homemade 10 gallon sump about a week ago. I am using 20 lbs of live sand as well as 6 lbs of live rock and 40 lbs of dry rock. The sump is just being used for storage of the protein skimmer and heater. I have two powerheads (azoo 317gph and Super Aqua 158gph) one...

I just set up the 29 gallon softie tank. I don't know a whole lot about these coral so I may need some help along the way. The tank has 30lbs of oolite sand (might be regretting this) and will have a 10 gallon sump hooked up below. I am getting a 27" maxspect razor this coming weekend for...

Hello all, I had a quick question. I have a 29 gallon Bio cube with 22 gallons of live rock that has been cycling for a week. I am composing my stock list to add in about a month or two when cycle is complete and my parameters are perfect. I want to add the following: 2 false percula clowns...

So this will be a blog of sorts for my tank. I have never written a blog before so this will probably just be a collection of my readings and data and different pictures when things change to keep you all updated. Just a bit of background information for you guys if you care..my name is Cole...

Hi, I want an opinion on putting a 48" T5HO 4 lamp-4 lunar light fixture over my 29 gallon FOWLR tank (soon to be reef tank). I know it is too large and will hang over the sides, will that be okay? I can get a good deal on one. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Ok so i have currently a bengaii cardinal, a clownfish, and 2 damsels in my 29g biocube. I really want to get one more fish, i was hoping it could be a dwarf lionfish. So, is my tank big enough? And will it work in my tank is it aggressive? Is it reef safe? What do you feed it...

I'm new to SW fish keeping. Just recently purchased an acrylic 29 gallon, 30 x 12 x 18. I'm thinking of tackling the task of building a sump for it. The sump will have to be a 10 or 20 gallon. I'm hoping a 20 gallon high fits underneath in the stand. A few questions. Is it worth building...

I set up a 29 gallon a few weeks ago using live rock from my 110 that got a little out of hand with HA. I put new sand in though as it's hard to rid it of HA. I added my clown and remaining CUC two days after moving the rock over and have since added a (a week later) purple firefish. Both fish...

So I'm just getting into reef tanks, I will soon be upgrading my planted 29 to a 75, and I want to make the 29 a reef. I was thinking I'd go with a T5 fixture since that's what I've always used, but for this tank I want to try LED's. I plan to have mostly softies and then eventually get some...

Hi guys. Just moved into my new apartment on August 10th and have decided its time to start a new tank here. I was at my LFS and they had a good deal on a 29 gallon tank, stand which is in brand new condition, reef octopus BH-2000 protein skimmer, a koralia powerhead (it's got a lot of coraline...

Hey guys, Checking in here. The wife and I currently have a 29 gallon set up in our two month old room. I used to mess with salt water back in 2000/2002. Then it was the thing to have a deep sand bed. Seems now everybody is doing naked or very thing. I love the jawfish, so I have a thick sand...

I plan on successfully maintaining a 29 gallon reef tank. Over the course of the last year, I have been researching what's involved in keeping a reef tank. The point of this build is for other beginners to read about any issues I've come across and how to avoid them. Similar threads are how...
