Unless oldenred is from the UK. They call power heads wavemakers.

And aim a power head across the back glass to help eliminate dead spots for detritus and food/fish waste to settle.

You generally need a GPH equal or greater than 20x your tanks volume minus the displacement of live rock and sand. Other than that, the choices of wave makers and power heads is pretty large. It really depends on what livestock you plan to keep. Just keep in mind that you don't want any dead...

Won't long term use of garlic have adverse affects on the fishes health? I remember Beth advising against it..

Justin a 29g is a bowfront which is a high tank. I agree with mr. limpid that you should start off with a 30 gallon long tank.

Start your research and you'll be able to decide what fish you want on your own. We can name dozens of colorful fish but until you do your research you won't know which ones are compatible with each other and what each one needed to thrive in a closed system. When I first started in this hobby...

It would help if we could see photos or a video.

Display tank water holds no beneficial bacteria to help the cycle. That's why a sponge or filter floss is used. Despite some popular opinions I wouldn't treat for anything that you don't know the fish even have to begin with. That's why you put them into quarantine for a minimum of four weeks...

Keep it as simple and sterile as possible. Put a piece of floss or sponge in the display to collect beneficial bacteria. Place it in a HOB filter on the QT to cycle. No sand, rock or ornaments. Just a couple pieces of PVC to give them a place to rest and feel safe. Heater for obvious reasons...

First, how long did you cycle Your tank? Are you sure it's finished cycling? Second, corals need an established tank as they are sensitive to your waters parameters. Third, are you sure you got all of each bristle worm? If you didn't, the piece left behind will just grow into a new one. Fourth...

How much aeration do you have? How established is the tank? Did you QT him before you put him the display?

That's aiding in trapping the nitrogen gasses released by the Nitrates in your system. My advice would be to take that off and either leave it an open top or if you're worried about jumpers cover the top with egg crate.

Point that pump at the surface so that it looks like it's at a soft boil. That'll help with aeration and gas exchange. Do you have a lid on your tank?

As your size tank needs about 640GPH flow you've got more than enough. As far as the Xenia? From what little I've read about them I think an island would work fine. I'm sure someone else here knows more about them than I do.

What size tank are they in? Just checking to make sure there's enough flow and aeration.

That really depends on what size your tank is but assuming the tank was fully cycled and you quarantined the clowns before adding them to the display, at least a month between additions is optimal. This gives the displays filtration system time to adapt to the new bioload and gives you time to...

Thanks for stepping in 2quills.

Still not very clear. Almost looks like some sort of Anemone. I don't think it's an Aiptasia though.

You've got all kinds of things going on in your tank don't you?

It's not very clear. Is it possible to post closer with a video?
