Hello again,
I started a 29 gallon back in June, and the cycle and curing of the live rock is now done. Here's pics from back then.

Last week I added a few snails, a few Hermits, and an Emerald Crab to start the clean up crew to work on the diatoms.
First time I've really seen the Emerald in a week so I was getting a little worried about him, but I knew he was there because my hair algae was gone

Here's a little 10 sec video of him. Notice that he kicks up some sand and tries to grab for it as it floats away. Really cool !!

Really cool bro! i cant wait to see if stock! so what you got as light and equipment?
Just planning a couple Clowns for a start. Will be FOWLR at least for a while. This is my first salt water adventure so I'm going real slow I've had a fresh water planted tank for quite some time though.
As for equipment, Light is a coralife 130 watt PC with 50/50 bulbs. 2 Korila 1's (one on each end) and a Korila nano pointing at the surface to keep a little aggitation going. I also have a Rena XP2 with Phosphate/silicate remover and carbon. Saving up for a skimmer. I do use RO/DI water so I may not need the Silicate/Phosphate remove once the diatoms are gone.
