This is my 29G setup, only been up for 36 hours. If anyone has ideas for the LR let me know!

Good deal man, I love my Nanos...I think they are personally the most fun I have had in the hobby to date... The only draw back that bothered me, is you always find something that wont fit or requires a bigger tank, but once you get out of that mind set it's a fascinating challenge.

This gonna be a Reef? or FOWLR?

Great Start!  You can always stack your rock work taller and make some islands.

Isn't that the truth!  I am thinking about getting rid of my last Red Sea Max 130 for a JBJ rimless, but can't pull the trigger.

I wasnt too crazy about the chromis, but girlfriend liked them.. so I got 3 so they could 'hang out'. They are actually really cool to watch, very active!

While Chromis' are always seen as a schooling fish, there is definitely a pecking order......   What will happen is that one fish will always be outcast, and it will end up dead......until there is only one.   They don't beat up on the outcast fish, the outcast typically hides in a corner and starves itself.  I started with 10 in my 180.  I am down to 4.    The runt of the remaining 4 is noticeably less active than the other 3.......won't be long.

So when you get down to your last one, avoid buying more.

Yep, started with 5. Now down to one. I was only able to save 1 out of the 4 that where outcasts. It may take 6-7 months. But don't be worried when they start to disappear.
