[jesse!]

heres my 29g reef that i started 10 months ago. I use a marine land 55g canister, 45 lbs. of liverock, and a 130w PC fixture. I have a colt coral, leather toadstool, clove polyp, green star polyp, assorted mushrooms, sebae anemone, bubble tip anemone, torch coral, coco worm, 2 chromis, 1 false percula clownfish, 1 cleaner wrasse, and a lawnmower blenny.
please post all your thoughts and any advice is much appreciated, thanks. heres a few photos of my tank.

well if you were looking at the photo of the clownfish it's said to show clownfish that they should go in the anemone, or if you are talking about the whales and dolphins that my really old wallpaper behind the tanklol.

Tank is looking good...The little patches of hair algae...you can probably reach in and pull it off manually...

very nice - my 29g is only a couple months old. Do you have your rocks stacked against the back glass wall - or mounded centrally in the tank without touching glass?
Thanks,
David.

thanks, yes my rock is stacked against the back if yours is the 30" x 12" 29g then you really have no choice because it is not very wide at all.

yes I just did that and now it is looking great!

I believe we have the same size 29g. Any concerns with stacking against the glass - I was always worried about the outward pressure on the glass, but I know many folks stack against glass safely?

thank you. Not really, I have heard that the smaller the tank the harder to keep the parameters on track but mine seem to stay quite close they are never jumping.
