I just purchased a 29g rimless frag tank. The dimensions of the tank are a little odd though( 29''x12''x16''). I was looking for t-5's but they are only made in 24'' and 36'', what would you do?

Also I will need a return pump from the sump. I plan on plumbing it in to my display tank. What about any ideas on Powerheads?

Thanks in advance

You could use a hanging light fixture. The areas on the sides that dont get as much light could be used for low light corals.

Thanks for the info on the lights.

Any ideas on return pump and power head? Thanks

I'd use a mag for return and a simple koralia for flow, cheap and effective.

Right, or higher up on the edges, and lower in the center.

Having this option may actually help in acclimating in same cases.
