    Help me take the next step!

    yea I am ok with ditching the chocolate chip. so those two you mentioned, they have to be completely dark? I could cover them a bit I suppose. I do like the look of a blue actinic, there is no reason I shouldnt get a CF with a 10K and a blue act right?

    fish stock for 29g nano tank

    doomed to fail...... I am guessing you are making the switch from fresh to salt water? Salt water tanks require more clean-up crew and less fish. try some emerald crabs or Shrimp. They are really cool AND functional. in a 29g I wouldnt have more than 5-6 inches of fish, and that assumes you...
