very nice, did you dyi your canopy? i just bought a 24" retro 175w mh w/10,000k ushio bulb and 2x32w actinic pc and was worried it may be a bit much on a 29g but yours looks great, i have a canopy for my tank but its to short i think by the time i get the lights in it they will only be about 2" from the water surface, if you could post a pic of your canopy that would be great

[29NaNo_ReEf]

My lfs custom built it to my specs. Horible paint job though..lol. I'll see if i can post pics tonight as im heading down to New Orleans for a few days. You would probably want the lights 12"-15" above the tank water surface, and get lots of ventilation!!! Go to wal mart and buy a couple cheap fans along with possibly a couple CPU fans you can probably find at the local radio shack or on the wonderful internet :roll:

:chuggin: Mike :banana:

[cich1]

maybe i should just hang the canopy i have from the ceiling :badgrin:

[29NaNo_ReEf]

yeah or you could make a pendant made of a.b.s. Got an anthelia frag, green digitalius coral, and a lime green cap. Will try to get new pics posted later.

Mike :hmm2:

[29NaNo_ReEf]

what happened to the 29g? i never knew you could go smaller in this hobby i thought it was mandatory to go bigger,lol :-D

[29NaNo_ReEf]

I moved and im going to downsize for a while until i can save up for my 58 gallon reef, so technically im am going upwards just not right now, LoL.

[winnona15]

thats a nice tank i must say

[nanoman123]

i noticed that you said a CPR bak pak was pretty much worthless.... i would dissagree. IMO CPR bak pak skimmers are the 2d best that i now of. also, since im buyign that skimmer from you, i hope tis not worthless :roll:

[29NaNo_ReEf]

hahaha, matt dont worry it just takes a while to tweak it

i guess i just dindt have anough protein to skim out
:D

Mike

[29NaNo_ReEf]

i would say euor reef, then aqua c, AMG, then CPr

best skimmers right there.

[nanoman123]

i remember 2 years ago all you wanted was the prysm.

[29NaNo_ReEf]
