29 gallon setup Q's

[abbalahdun]

Ok I have a few questions about setting up a new 29 gallon.

1) I am planning on an aquaclear 110 fuge, is this even worth it for my size tank? I really cannot do a sump right now so I wanted other ways to do this.

2) For my lighting I was planning on a 150-175 mh, what would be best to use to help with fluorescence? will NO actinics be enuf?

3) I know I'm a noob lol. But I have ran a 12g nano before quite successfully...just new to bigger tanks.

Thanks for helping :)


and will this light be enuf for most any coral?

1) The more filtration the better IMO. I ran an AC fuge on my 20 and I thought it worked well. Will you be using a protein skimmer?
2) I just picked up a 30" Sunpod to be used for a 29G or 20G long. I will be using a 150 radium bulb which I heard you don't need atinics and you will still get the fluorescence out of the corals. It's more of a bluer tint.

Good luck
