My 29g Reef Log

looks great man. i've just completed all 15 pages! whew - need to rest the eyes. I bought a 29 gallon tank just this evening. I've been running a 2.5 gallon nano for a few months. I've been struggling trying to decide what size tank to get, etc, etc. It hasn't been easy deciding on a tiny 29, but for our home I think it will serve its purpose quite nicely. I'll be picking up the sand and salt mix by the end of the month. I'll keep watching this post since it's exactly what I'm putting together. Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming.

Thanks Dave!!!!

Well I am trying you know its hard to match up with all these tanks specially on a very low income. Well basicly this is my 2nd 29/30 Gal Tank. So far Its been PRETTY easy cycling and what not.

One HUGE problem I have is not enoph testing supply which is VITAL to sucess.
Also one other problem is the lighting. Right now my lighting only cost 160$ .
 
Yea, hard to compete with the $4000 systems! But we do what we can.

I'm actually taking back my 29 and getting a 37 gallon instead, hehe - it's only $15 more and my current stand will hold it. I have a friend who's going to sell me his 15 gallon tank for a sump and I will be getting my 37 drilled Friday. Let me tell you I'm excited!

I need to pick up more tests - I think Red Sea has a kit with 5 different tests, I'll probably pick it up plus a phos test. Man that stuff adds up!

I've seen a few people with the DIY lighting, I think I'll go that direction but for now I'll use a 130w power compact setup till I start growing corals.

Post some pics once you start putting cleaners or other critters in! I look forward to your progress.
