Alright I will look into cultivating some pods!
Only 4 more days until I pick up the 29 Gallon. I went to the LFS and they had a nice piece of GSP, kinda pricey ($24), will see if I can find some from a local reefer.
I will be getting some plumbing things to try and finish plumbing the 36 Thursday as well. Will keep you posted!

It looks like it has a lot of potential.....needs to be cleaned up some.....what is that red wheel thingy in the front left?
I think you can do a good job with it

That was picture the guy sent me, I will be picking itup Thursday afternoon. It does need a good thurough cleaning, but it's got some potential, and will keep me occupied till I get my 36 up and going, in which all the stuff from the 29 will be transfered over. Here are the specs for the tank
29 Gallon AGA
Eclipse hood modded with one 65w dual actinic power compact bulb (will be picking up a 50/50 Thursday)
Visa-Therm 150w heater
20lbs. live rock
25lbs live sand
Maxi-jet powerhead (not sure what size)
and as for inhabitants it goes like this
3x 3 lined damsels
1x 19" snowflake eel
All the fish will be taken back to the LFS so I can get some store credit and different fish/corals.
Can't wait to get it home and cleaned up!

The fish you see in the picture is actually a Dragon Wrasse, but it got bullied to death by the damsels.....gosh darn demon fish!

Alright my bad, just talked with the guy and he said it's a maroon clown, he had told me that there were only damsels and a snowflake eel in the tank, then he said when the pic was taken he had his maroon in there....sorry guys, he did at one time have a dragon wrasse in there though.

Updates:
I have been out of cash so nothing really has been happening with the tank. In another 4 weeks I will be able to buy more goodies...hoping to get the lighting, get the sump finished, along with the plumbing, and start packing stuff away. I have a list of my dream 36 Gallon...and here it is.
Tank: 36 Gallon Bow Front
Skimmer: Reef Octopus XP-1000sss
Sump: 20 Gallon Long with Refugium
Lights: Undesided, need opinons on what will work
Live Rock: 60lbs of Premium Fiji
Live Sand: 40lbs of Fiji Pink Live Sand
Return: mag 5
Overflow: Glass-holes 700gph overflow
Fuge Light: 24" Wavepoint T5 HO Fixture with different bulbs...not sure what ones yet.
and that's my list so far...I will be adding to it, as I need a calc reactor for the SPS, and some other goodies.
lemme know what you think.

They are adjustable...one is plenty but two would be nice to have. Fuge light doesnt need to be anything fancy. Actually don't need two different bulbs. 6,500K daylight bulbs are good for fuges and macro growth.
