Rockscaping - Pictures ONLY please! :rofl:

[mr.sneakysnacky]

SO, I am looking to set up a beautiful rock structure.

This is what I am working with:

29G tank.
standard rectangular tank
30 pounds of rock
2 clownfish
1 mini tang
1 mandarin

So any one out there willing to share THEIR BEAUTIFUL rockscape with me!

I was gonna post I picture but I had to comment, you can't keep a tang, no matter how small in a 29g tank. you are looking for trouble I promise. And the mandarin too isn't a good fish for a starting out tank.

But here are some pictures of my 29g and my cube and my 20g too.

You guys I love all of your rockscaping! all of these look beautiful I hope to have mine look as good as you pictures up here!

Carey: Why is it bad to have a a tang in a 29G tank? I mean I am only getting a .5' tang so it will be pretty small. I mean I understand about the whole "gotta have at least 75G tank" but... I really want one ....?

and how come mandarins are bad starters?

Most Mandarins, unless trained, will only eat copepods. You need around 50-60lbs of LR that has had a chance to mature for about a year to build a healthy population of pods for it to eat.

As for the Tang, they need the swimming room to develop properly, even as juveniles.

These look great you guys! There is not a single one in here I dont like. I promise you guys that I will post up my aquarium when its ready! which will be by black friday because that is when my tank will be full cycled! hopefully sooner...

 

[mr.sneakysnacky]

Carey! I was wondering what do you carey in your 29G tank? item wise.

Like:

what kinda PH do you carry?

what kind light?

what kind of protein skimmer?

it looks like you carry the AC 110? or 70?

 

[carey]

I only have the biocube 29g right now. Some of the pictures I posted were a bit older but I wanted you to see what I did in my old 29g straight tank.

When I did have her up and running though the ph was at 8.3, I used an odyssea 4 bulb fixture for lights and I added a remora hang on back skimmer after a while. I was running an AC50 as well with good results. I managed to get to 0 nitrates after awhile too so it can be done.

I currently have a 20g tank setup as well, mostly corals. i do not have a skimmer for that one either and it is running an ac50 for filtration. I just added a 4 bulb fishneedit.com light fixture.



I still have my concerns about putting a tang in that tank, I haven't forgotten. LOL Isn't there another fish you can get that will make you happy that will be HAPPY in a 29g tank?
