I did some rearranging yesterday and these duncans are loving where I put em, the zoas same happy and settled in already and well my hammer is just a happy camper 24/7 lol

I installed a heater for my tank it's a 200w aqueon I've always had luck with this model and this heater kept a 55g at 82* when I was doing cichlids so why not trust it to keep a 29g reef super stable. I noticed my in-tank temp was dropping to about 74* so now its at a steady 80* very tropical lol

Here's a few pics guys, I might pick up an acan this week I'm still undecided.

You NEED an acan!!! They are so awseome. Tank looks good. Those zoas look to be forming tissue growth as the base, thats a good sign. Let it grow, let it grow! Love to watch the growth.

Oh and that black coated aqueon heaters are underrated. Thats all ive used since i got my first one. Tough and somewhat appealing for a heater.

That is all I use in my nanos! They're not big, bulky, and ugly like some other brands.

reefs2go has good price on their entire site and f/s when you spend more than $100 (which is easily achieved in this hobby). they also have daily/weekly specials. The only complaint I have is their selection isn't as big or exclusive/rare as liveaquaria
