Starting over with my tank!

I'm starting over with my 29 gallon tank. Hopefully everything goes well!

The tank was looking good... will post pics soon! (O old tank) I've been into freshwater fishtanks all my life and been messing with marine for about 14+/- years. With that being said, sadly enough I still have a lot to learn. I've always been on a strick build budget and i'm looking for advice as I go.

  1. Something New!

    I went to the LFS to pick up some regular maintenance things and checked out the coral tank only to see a poor little Green Slimer coral. It arrived at the LFS not it to great of shape. The owner gave it to me at a large discount needless to say. Here is a pic of it...notice the brown on it...Right now I have it on the sand bed but plan to slowly move it up in my tank. I wanted to give it time to really acclimate to my tank. Any suggestions on making it more healthy?

  2. Water Pumping Power!

    My wife brought me home something I've been debating on. I've checked out the new Knoralia Evolution pumps and the Tunze pumps in the recent weeks. Finally selecting the Koralia for their power for the price. I selected the Koralia Evolution 1400 gph pumps.

    When I first put them in the tank and plugged them in they had some serious stirring going on. I had to adjust them so at least the sand wasn't blowing all over. The

  4. Just Hanging Out!

    I was walking down the stairs this morning to walk my wife out and I turned the tank lights on for her to see it before she left for work. (daily routine) She said look at this; I had to take a quick picture. I mounted some frags yesterday and my Emerald Crab thought he'd check it out! Sorry pic small, don't know why I can't make them bigger but it won't let me for some reason.

  5. My 75g RR Build/Picture Update

    Just thought i'd do a small update and put some pics up of what I've been doing. I still have to do the electrical for the lighting; thats what is on top of canopy. How would y'all do it? I have two ballast, one power strip and three timers. Would you mount on back of canopy or in stand. I don't have quick connects. Well anyway, here are some pics, if ya been following me you can tell what progress i've made. The bright pink thing on the left was something I made up to hold my frags. The hermits ...
