I joined this forum a zillion years ago but never posted anything till now :wavehand:
Decided over the next couple of weeks that I'm gonna attempt my first official saltwater setup but I still gotta finish purchasing all of the supplies!
I'm getting a 29g tomorrow, and have the metal stand and 20lbs of dry rock coming in the mail along with some oolite sand and reef putty for some nifty aquascaping :cool:. I will add about 10lbs of nice fiji live rock after everything is set up to get some coraline and other stuff in the tank.
My questions are:
1 - Is this light sufficient for keeping at least a couple nice corals alive (NO zoos because they scare me :eek1:) but other relatively undemanding things like star polyps and maybe mushrooms should be ok right?

2 - Should I use a Fluval aquaclear 70 or 110 as the main filtration? The 110 is massive and im thinking might be a bit much for a 29?
3 - Is this a good wavemaker and also skimmer? Gonna be getting them both unless someone says its a bad idea!

4 - I have a couple fish that I really want to keep, including a flame angel, some firefish, a wrasse and maybe a dottyback or chalk bass? I don't think I can squish all of them in that tank but I just wanted to list a couple species I'm particularly fond of. :cool: If it all goes well I will most likely upgrade to at least a 40g in the near future, the 29 is sort of an experiment to see if I can handle the whole salt thing. Thankssss!!
