So i think i finally am going to upgrade and get my 29G tank i have had sitting here for some time empty into a saltwater tank. I currently have a the tank , homemade maple stand my grandfather made,just like a iron stand setup. And i am going to be putting right behind my oversized chair in the living room which will block off the enterance and the living room area. Items i currently have
29g tank
stand
55g water heater
36" Current USA 96W PC light (but missing mouting bracket)
Thoughs on rest of equipment?
?? any input would be be great
20L as the sump (if it will fit in the stand that i have currently.
mag 5 return pump
protien skimmer? yes/no and what to look for here?
is lighting in the sump needed and what should i do there?
overflow box?
of course the usual 25lbs LR and sand will be needed.
Am i missing anything and i want to run no canopy on this since it will be seen from both sides of the tank, so i was going to put the LR in the middle of the tank and make it like a full display setup. just not sure how to plumb the feed and return lines and where to put overflow box at.
I will try to get some pics of the setup sitting where its at so you can get a good idea of what im refeering too.
any input is best, and im trying to do this as cheap as i can get away with, as i dont have a tone of $, like everyone else it seems, and ill be looking for mainly good used parts to keep the cost down. and the lighting i already have so thats a huge plus.
