Re: My 29g Reef Tank

Re: My 29g Reef Tank
Hay nice tank.
I think you would be well advised to get a sump to put all that equipment in. It would give you much more room and a larger volume of water not to mention a place to acclimatize new additions. Can i ask how your getting on with your aqua-clear power heads ?. mine seem to produce a lot of heat and micro bubbles even when there fully submerged.

The powerheads are doing good i really like them mine does put off a shot of micro bubbles every once in a while, they do see to be putting off quite a pit of heat, i unplugged my heater for 2 days and when the light was off it stayed around 74 degrees and the house was 68

Re: My 29g Reef Tank
A very nice lookin set-up. Makes me want to start a salt tank again....But im so far into Natives now its not funny. However a nano-cube wouldnt be too much trouble
 . Isnt it amazing that in this hobby, just the site of a nice tank makes one start to drool and head for the LFS for equipment and fish, no matter what you already have  Update; After lookin at your tank pics again i wanted to add that i really like the way youve placed your premium rock so it gets good circulation all around, i think thats very important. Also as i think ive heard Jarred mention before (Patience) youre not loading your tank down right off. Adding things slowly small fish etc. does wonders for letting your system adjust slowly to the bio-load, and the skimmer will be a definite asset. Great work !! and thanks for sharing your journey with us Last edited by JIM : 06-22-2009 at 07:27 AM. |
