29 Gal. Salt Set Up Pics

[ShooterRick]

15 years ago I kept a 75 gal. reef tank. It has been a long time. Recently I had the chance to purchase a 29 gal salt tank since the owner was upgrading to a 55. The tank was broke down on a Monday and I had salt water in it on Tues. Since his tank looked healthy before his upgrade I decided to give him the 80 bucks for tank, stand, modified hood and filter.

Tuesday. I mixed Oceanic water and kept his filter media wet with salt water while doing so to try and save some of his bacteria. The tank had a artificial stone wall , somewhat porous, built inside the tank. I purchased a heater and thermometer as well as 2 cheap wall lamp timers for the two T10s system and for the two T5s fixture modified in the hood. The hood and filter are a Eclipse 3 which I am not fond of but will do for now since he kept his tank running on it for a year. I place 2-2.5 inches crushed coral substrate and began running the system.

Thursday: I found 20 lbs of base rock at 1.00 a lb local and placed in the tank
.
Wednesday: I purchase 5 lbs live rock and place in the system to help seed things.

Saturday: Water PH perfect and amonia at 2.0. Temp a steady 76F. I plan to do water tests again Monday (Labor Day)

Ok folks it has been a long time so I consider myself a rookie. All helpful comments welcome. I plan on a stock of 4 small fish and a Nem. I plan to add a protein skimmer if needed. The first pic are after base rock only. 2nd pic with live rock.

The picture I do see shows a good startup tank. Even though you are not new to the hobby, please read through this post to make sure you don't miss anything: Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium

Seeding is good. Just so you know -- base rock will never become true live rock. You'll understand this after reading this post: What is Live Rock, Anyway? However, the base rock will be a place for biological filtration to take place.

That size aquarium will be fine for two of the smaller species of Anemonefishes. "Small fish" is subjective. But if you're talking about fishes that, when fully grown are under 3" in length, then it will hold two of those quite well. Not sure what "Nem" means, but for stocking limits these are good reads:
