This is my irst post here I think, but Ive been hanging out reading threads, and learning. Ive seen all the wonderfull threads people have posted here, and decided to show yall my tank.

 

Specs:

29g AGA

600gph overflow

Pro Clear Aquatics wet dry converted to sump

CA 150 skimmer

Koralia 2 (only 1 soon to be 2)

2x24w T-5 ( soon to be 4x24w or 6x24w)

50-60Lbs LR

50Lbs LS

 

 

I started with an AquaClear 110 HOB filter, untill I was able to get an overflow box and sump. This was only my 2nd tank, I started with a 3g pico, and had that for about a month until I upgraded. I always had bad algea problems with the AC, but once I got the overflow box, that went away within a week. I didnt have much of a cycle, it only lasted maybe 2 weeks. After about 3 weeks I added the CUC, and after week for I started adding livestock. The first to go in was a ricordia and a 6 line wrasse from my pico. My main corals are softies and lps, with only a few sps. My fish are 6 line wrasse, flame tail blenny, false perc. clown, and a molly I converted to SW who is about to get tossed out. I had a blue flasher wrasse and a yellow headed sleeper goby, but they both jumped. Current corals are assorted zoas, torch, bubble, green ricordia, green striped mushroom, weird lookin shroom, pom-pom xenia, digitata and frog spawn. I also have a pistol shrimp. Now for the pics.
