    Getting back into it

    Ok Iam new to this site and I use to be big into saltwater tanks I had a 60 gallon reef system and miss it, I got rid of it becaues I was moving alot and had a small apt at the time kinda got to be a pain in the ass mantaining it. Eventully I will post some pics on this site very nice! Any way I want to get the 29 gallon nano tank and I want to know pepoles thoughts about the system Iam very educated in what it has in it such as lighting filter and so fourth...I want to know who has one and why they got it and if they have had any issues to look for. Also I want to get the power compact lights maybe the halides not to sure I dont think Iam gona get into reefs again so IDK if that nessisary. They have a 29 gallon nano tank 299.99 at marinedepot.com comes wit a stand too!

    29 nano- hum hum trigger in that? what else would be safe

    Your trigger probably won't be too happy in a little nano. And your reef might not be too happy with that trigger.

    And the problems for the trigger and the reef will likely get worse as the trigger grows.

    the only issue with 29 gallon tank is you cannot keep alot of the fish you are gonna want to have, example - a trigger needs a min. of a 75 gallon tank and should be one of the last fish added to any system, tangs are out, all but the pygmy angels are out, you might want to think about a bigger tank,
    Tanks,

    No triggers in a 29, please, fish need to be able to turn around. Is that one of those 29 cubes? If so, a 4x24W T5HO would be really nice.
    If you're into something that doesn't need a lot of swimming room, a dwarf lionfish isn't bad. You can get em fuzzy or smooth and they're pretty interesting (once they get used to the light). I had one a few years back, and he never ate my cleaner shrimp, but your experience may vary. Another cool fish is a convict blenny.
