I have stronger powerheads but they create a very strong current for such a small tank. Only thing I just added was a condy anemone. Typically read it was best to have light on for 8-10 hours, so I just kept it that way. I am leaning towards going reef in the future so I made the investment in...

https://filterdirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=30 I have a 29g FOWLR

My lights are aqualife T5s, on about 9-10hrs a day. I heard rinsing pellet foods before feeding helps get rid of some of the phosphates. It that correct?

To the RO6100+DI a good RODI for a saltwater tank?

It's also more of a hair algae problem than cyano but I know they can go hand in hand. Cyano has popped up since yesterday though.

I feed small pellets as of right now. Been thinking of using brine shrimp as well to feed variety every other day. I test weekly on Saturdays and haven't seen any nitrates during my tests. I'm leaning toward a phosphate problem. It's more of a sand problem than it being on the rocks. Usually...

I have a 29g FOWLR been up for a little over a year now. Had basic T8 marine lamp for a long time now I've upgraded to aquatic life T5s (thinking of moving deeper into hobby than FOWLR) along with the switch came an algae boom. Have HOB filter (filter pad, ammonia remover, chemi-pure elite)...

Ok. Thanks anyway.

Cool. Now i just have to find them at my local fish stores. I was also thinking about adding two more blue green chromis' to school with my other one I have already. would that be a good idea?

My rock is sitting on top of my sand bed. My rock has holes in it around the bottom.

They look pretty cool. I just have to find some at my local stores. Is an inch sand bed enough for them to burrow and create a cave? I do have live rock with quite a few wholes and crevices for them to start with.

I don't know too much about the pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby. Do they compliment each other in the tank?

I have a aqueon deluxe hood that came with the tank. But the back is open because I have a HOB aquaclear filter. Was thinking of getting one of those glass versa tops. Would that suffice?

I've heard those are fun fish. just kind of worried about the jumping out. My light is on an auto timer and the chromis goes kind of crazy and darts around the tank when it comes on. Fearful he nights startle firefish and cause him to take a leap lol.

I had a 10g tank which I recently upgraded and moved over to my new 29g tank. Right now it is stocked with two clown fish, a blue/green chromis, four blue-legged hermit crabs and two large turbo snails. They've been in the 29 for roughly a month now been thinking about adding another fish...
