Nice work.
For the 29, you can have a SMALLER dwarf angel such as a Pygmy or African Flame Back, a small blenny, and one or two other smaller fish.

water moment
u mean water movement ?
biocube has their own line of powerheads. I have one and it gets the job done. People suggest korila and tunze though!
It would be cool to have a dwarf angel!
I should have got one but i got a lgr tomato clown. Part of been a n00b i guess....
eye it and buy it
lol

The BioCube powerhead isn't all that great. Get one of the Koralia. A Koralia 1 or one of the larger nano's would be fine.

So i was planning to spend about 50 dollar on distilled water from target. A gallon per dollar. My question is.. distilled water is similar to RO water? I was star a 29 gallon tank and buying 50 gallons of distilled. Would it be able to last through the first setup and water changes to change the nitrates down with in mind with from cycling to the end.. Since I want to start with reefs and fish in this tank. Since My 12 gallon tank is currently using tap water and haven't decided to change the water yet to distilled water since i not going to do a reef fish tank with that tank. I was also planning just to borrow live rocks from my current tank and get some base and live rocks from lfs and live sand to start of the tank. So would 50 gallon of distilled would be enough?

I have a loaded 29 gal biocube, I only use ro/di water. watch the angels if you want corals and fish. I have 7 fish and 12 corals. I do a 5gal water change twice a month, ro/di water only. Look at the intank media baskets, they are awesome. I leave a little green hair algae on the back wall, it keeps it off of the rock. I also use the factory pump and have a koralia #1 pump, great! Its your personal preference, just do some research before you buy. Xenia is a great coral for beginners as well as kenya and colt corals. I probably have 1350.00 in my system, and I have pc bulbs. Good luck and enjoy! Took a quick pic of mine for you.
