Thanks for the correction. That's what I was trying to get across.

Sounds like the tank is plumbed for sump. Typically a sump would be easier to setup for filtration. You could probably get a cheap 55 and make a few chambers for mechanical and biological filtration.

Has anybody ever tried this? I used to have this on my 20g SW setup and it worked great with LR and Cheato. I was wondering if this would have the same concept with some mechanical filtration and then some lucky Bamboo? Would it serve its purpose and remove some of the nitrates or would it...

Thanks for the replies. I plan on keeping just tropical community fish.

Just a quick question....would this be too much water movement? I know you can never have too much filtration. This would turn the tank over about 17x an hour. I'm not planning on overstocking at all, but I always like to have two filters when I can and these aren't that expensive.

Not a bad design! Since this would be a classroom fish tank, I'm thinking just a tropical community. I currently have a crested gecko and leopard gecko where the tank would go. I'm getting pretty tired of getting crickets every week for them. The 29g would suffice my itch to get a bigger tank...

I'm interested in setting up a 29g in my classroom. Would it be sensible to do a HOB fuge using an AC110 (or 70) to help reduce nitrates?

Just making a thread to say hello. I've been out of the hobby for 15+ years. I had a 55g mbuna tank and then went to a 20g reef. My 20g has softies, LPS, SPS, and 2 clams. This was back in the day when HQIs were the thing to have. I lost 2g a day due to the heat of the HQI. I'm now interested...
