My Fellow 29G Reefers

I now have two fish doing great in my tank so far! I have A Tomato Clown and a 6-Line Wrasse, they have been doing really well with one another. Clown usually stays by the heater which is where he sleeps or comes out and swims alittle on the left side. The wrasse swims in and out of the live rock. I have a Camel back Shrimp who hangs out in the rock also with a few blue legged crabs. ALL IS DOING GREAT! I also have a piece of frag but it's just a mushroom frag.

How many fish can the 29 gallon hold? What fish do you have in your 29 galloon? What type of corals do you have? My next thing is I want to get a few neat corals to add. like, the bubble looking ones or the little tree looking ones to add some color, when you get a frag do you place it on the sand or just on your rock? Also, what is a good clean up crew member to keep the glass clean besides turbo???

Thanks!!!!

Aquaticlife T5HO 4 lamp fixture
2 koralia powerheads
and a cheap 50w heater.

Its a nice setup.

 

yellow tang in a 29...shudder shudder....haha. I would suggest if you going to get another fish, go for something like a yellow watchmen goby. Maybe paired with a pistol shrimp. There really fun to watch if you get one that isnt shy.

 

Sounds NICE! I have a brittle star who is little and happend to be a hitchhiker, I have two of them that I see from time-time. I didn't know what it was at first.

For your corals how long did you wait before you added your corals and where did you place them? on your live rock or on the sand? My next step is to add in some corals to bring my tank to life and looking colorful. My tank has been set up since March 2nd, do I need to wait before adding corals?

 

I have 4 fish, numerous corals and a pretty good CUC consisting of snails, crabs, hermits, pods and starfish in my 29g

 

what type of lights do you have?

i waited 3 months but thats because i didnt have the light till then. but wait three months anyways, cuts down on the casualtys.

live rock or sand is good. lpps corals NEED to be on the sand so they dont get cut. softies and SPS are good anywhere though.

 

i dissagree with the yellow tang, i got rid of one becuase i didnt have a skimmer and was having nitrates, but now he is fine. ive had him for a few months, he is reallly happy.

 

Yellow tang in 29... Tried that once didn't work for me, happy it does for you ( but I'm hoping you are planning on upgrade or trade in the future..)
