Okay this is my 29 gallon tank with 1 TP clown, blue damsel, and one 3 stripe damsel. I don't have a good light for the tank yet but I should get one for christmas. I don't know what to put in it, like what anemone or a dust feather etc. And if the rock looks right for a reef, or if I should take some rock out. So I'm gonna let ya'll choose what would look best in my tank. This is it

Definitely a good start.
I like the barnicle fossil. Definitely would say to get a blenny as your next fish, so he could hide in there and poke his little head out one of the shoots.
Some things I would recommend, get rid of that tacky background. A plain black (my preference) or a blue would help show the tank off. The rocks look good. Perhaps try a different rock structure? Take some of that middle out, and try to make the ends higher. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by if these rocks are safe for a reef? As long as they weren't used with a copper disease treatment before. Where'd you get them? Where they purchased as 'live rock?' Also how long as the tank been setup?

Thanks, yeah blennys are kinda cute... what about a goby? I really like the yellow watchman gobys too I think they are so adorable. Okay i'll get rid of it and get a black background. When I was talking about the rock I ment like if I should take some out cuz it looked like to me I had too much. So yeah I'll take some out. Well I'm not exactly sure where I got the rock. My dad used them for his SW tank about 5 or 6 years ago. We put the rock in a bucket until I got it in my tank. The tank has been up for about 6 months.

I agree, keep all the rocks in the tank. The more live rock the better. Also be careful as you essentially have 3 damsels in your tank. Other than that good luck, and start a thread in the nano section

Agreed, I don't think it's too much rock either, it's just sort of long and short. I'm thinking maybe a bit more narrow, but a taller rock structure would help the look.

Looks nice! Are you going to put corals in the tank? You have a lot of nooks and crannies for that. Too bad about the damsels-the devil fish from heck IMO.
Get the light first before you add an anenome or any corals. Good lighting is one of the most important things to have for a sucessful reef tank. Do you know what type of light you will be getting? T5 or MH?
Definatly don't remove any LR, you could stand to have some more, maybe make some shelfs to hold corals, etc, when you get it going. Just keep in mind, you can always redo your aquascaping down the road when your plans change.

Okay thanks, I'll leave all the rock But make it more narrow. So ya'll are saying to like put some of the rock mainly in the middle? I'm planning on putting some zooz, feather dusters, more snails, and I might take the two damsels back to the fish store and get a yellow watchman and another TP clown. I think I might get a T5 light. Yeah it's prob gonna be a while since I don't have the light. But when I do i'll defidentally start a thread again.
