I would like to know if anyone could let me know what type of coral's I could put in my tank? I have a 29 Gallon tank, with a 10 gallon sump/refugium, 96 Watt Power Quad PC lights, 30Lbs. live rock, 20 Lbs. sand. Any other suggestions on setup would be great also.
You can e-mail me or post your suggestions here.
Thanks ,

Hi,
Great to see another 29 gallon owner, they are great little tanks. With those lights you can keep all softies that I know of, some LPS like open brains and even a clam or two. . .I would check into a derasa clam.

I forgot to ask about your sump, could you give me a bit of detail on it? Was your tank drilled? I have been thinking about one for some time and would appreciate any info you could give me. My email is jrt45@hotmail.com
Thanks again

You can have a good bit of soft corals as well as some hard corals. Colts, xenias, shrooms, star poylps, yellow poylps and there is alot more. Plus a frogspawn or a hammer would be nice.
I would stay away from a clam and most brains though.

Hey there.
I'm another owner of a 29 gallon tank. I'm getting 2x65 watt powercompacts. You guys think I could keep normal bubble coral under this lighting? I plan to get Xenia, Colt, Polyps, Mushrooms.. and probably a brain, but are you guys sure you could keep a clam under this guys conditions? I'm not that much of an expert on clams but I thought they needed more lighting then that.

I would not attempt to keep a clam under anything less than mh's.
Galina everything you mentioned would do great in your tank!!

Hi,
Yes there are some lower light clams, as mentioned the dersasa. I would place it near the top, but they do fine under PC lights. Had mine for almost 6 months now. Now the maxima clams are totally different. But I would get a nice stock of softies before you get a clam or an open brain, they both require more attention and good water conditions.
