Honestly, I didnt have the money to make a tank that size look good. I think this will be much easier. The only thing I dislike is that the footprint is kind of small. I dont think im going to be able to fit a clam on the sandbed. Oh well.

thats one bad thing about 29 gallon tanks once u put the LR in and get it like you want it you tend to not have that much room on the send bed. IMO thats it.

Right now i have 260 watts of power compact. In a week or so im getting a MH retrofit. I could do a Crocea after i upgrade. (NOTE: no clams will be added for several months and until i have MH lighting). A couple questions: Should I go with a 175 or 250 watt MH. And since this tank is made up entirely of the water, rock, sand...etc. i used in my old system, how long do i have to wait until this tank is considered mature? The 90 gallon was 11 months old when i made the switch. Thanks!

i dont see a reason why you cant add anything to it now. you dont have to wait for the tank so mature, its the bacteria in the sand water and rock that matures... i would personally go with the 175, the 250 would be overkill on a tank that tall...
