My 29 gal get up..

[Abrooks12376]

Hey all, im a freshy but ive come to the dark side this is my relatively new 29 gal, started as a Fowlr with an hob filter and pretty basic over all. I can't leave stuff alone... haha.. just added the first round of coral (thanks to the awesomely generous members of this most excellent forum). Here's the run down..

29 gal dt
20 gal sump (15 gal actual volume)
Mars aqua 165 dimmable led panel
Reef octopus protein skimmer
Eheim skim surface skimmer
Couple hydor 450 powerhead
Custom overflow box with a 600gph pump pulling into sump and gravitational return.

This tank seems to be winding out of the ugly diatom phase.. hopefully:/
2 occelaris clown
1 pajama cardinal
Clown goby
Cleaner shrimp and red shrimp (forget name)
I've since adjusted the scape a bit, still not quite right.

Welcome to the salty side lol
Looking good. What do you intend to keep for corals?

Nice!

Nice!

The frogspawn seems to be making the transition nicely. Duncan has pretty much closed up. Any tricks?

Put the Duncan on the bottom. They do best with lower light and light flow.

Yes I would try lower light and flow. I kept them on the sand and they seemed happy in my tank.

I love that rock that angles up from your formation.
