My first reef 29 gallon tank journal

[Dutchymomo]

ok so here we go I finally got my tank wet and I have and aqua scape I like. Idk how I’m going to mount my AI hydra 26 because a lot of people say bad things about the mounts made by angus illumination. Any help would be appreciated. Also I don’t know what kind of livestock I want, part of me is saying just get some beginner stuff like clowns and a royal gramma or something and the other part of me says get something cool like a Toby puffer or pipefish. I would like some suggestions on interesting live stock. Here is the equipment 

 

tank- aqueon 29 gallon tank

 

in the tank

- 20 lbs. Carib sea Bimini pink live sand 

- 25 lbs. reef saver dry rock 

 

heater- ehim jager 100 wat 

powerhead- hydor koralia 600 gph 

filter- aquaear 30 in case I want to run carbon

 

live stock

 

fish- hopefully an oddball 

 

coral- I really want a big monti cap and idk what else

 

inverts- nasurios snails, astrea snails, trouchus snails, some hermits
