[freshera07]

Strictly 29 gallon standard glass (30"L x 12"W x 18"H)...no biocubes

Lets see them!!!

[freshera07]

anyone?

[mfp1016]

I'd rather have 18" wide by 12" high, that sounds like a poor design, JMO

[haydenholgate]

it is a poor design but its a tank and it holds water

[freshera07]

huh how is a standard 29g a poor design? I think a tank that has no height is a poor design

tank with less height requires less intense lighting. tall isnt really better. fish dont really prefer to swim up and down anyhow. thats why a 40 breeder is so popular for reef tanks its only 16" high but like 18" deep (front to back) and 36" long. Its my favorite small tank for a reef.

I have some liverock cooking in a 29g, I will be working on the sump soon. I will post again with pics when I have something worth taking a picture of.

Two month old 29g standard. Purchased at Wal-Mart 5 yers ago. Started off as a freshwater and now salt. Not many inhabitants yet, blenny, sand sifter, gbta and tomato, snails and hermies. I just couldnt let it sit in shed collecting spiders and other crap. Im having fun with it and thats what counts. Who really cares if its a standard, it holds water. IMHO tall hexagon tanks are a waste. Soon to upgrade to something bigger but for now this is what I got.

In most cases, vertical space, is wasted space.

I agree with the post near the top, id MUCH rather have a longer, wider tank, then a deep tank. If I were to use a something that tall, id have a 4-6" DSB and id try and cover it all around the tank.

I mean, cover it from the outside, visually, i don't want to see DSB haha.

No one else. Wow

big rock is covered by calupra fern which my is almost all gone thanks to my tang and crabs. had to buy it cause it was full of micro stars, bristle worms, mini brittle stars, pods, and sponges.

This is my 29. I have T-5 lighting, a HOB skimmer/filter, and run an Aquajr controller. It's basically an SPS with a Zoa Garden.

The picture does not really do it justice!

While I agree I'd love to have a deeper 29, I think visually the ratio of height to width on this tank is perfect. Kinda like a HDTV screen. Its all about the visuals after all.

Here's my 29 from about 4 months ago:
