new tank

[abrahamavelar]

Hello everybody I'm Abraham n I'm just getting back in to the hobby I've gas some experience with sw reef and few n few planted tanks in the past now I'll be moving somewhere between march n April and the owner only allows up to a 35 gallon tank n I've been thinking of setting Either a 30 breeder or a 29 gallon n I'm not complely sure which one I want yet I was leaning more towards the 29 but the other is longer and shorter my question is if I was to go with the 29 what kind of lights will I need to keep corals know I'll need atleast 30 lbs of live sand n 30 live rock but what other equipment should i get

Nano cube or Bio cube, they both come decked out and you don't have to worry about buying things separately. Plus they aren't too spendy (the livestock will take care of that!) good luck!

I agree, if just getting into salt go with either of these but get the biocube hqi or the jbj led one. These will allow you to grow whatever coral you want. Definitely worth the extra $$$$

I wanted to set up the 30 breeder I think that's how they call them but I'm not sure need more advice

[abrahamavelar]

I just want to do this right from the beginning last time I had sw reef I lost too much money for not doing things right

[h8z2luze]

Never heard of a 30 breeder. The 40 breeder is a awesome reef size.

30 breeder is same dimensions as the 40 but 4" shorter

[h8z2luze]

Oh. That sounds good!

Just go with a 40 breeder great foot print and they make beautiful reefs and much easier to find than a 30b

I agree do the 40 breeder. Your fish will appreciate the extra height.

Petco was having their dollar per gallon sale. 40 bucks for a 120 dollar tank sounds good to me!!

The problem I have right now the landlord only allows us to have up to a 35 gallon tank he is worried about the weight of it

[BigRedsReefs10]

Well a 40 b setup would probably weigh about 450 even with a 20g sump it would weigh 600ish I would think and if your just running a stand alone the 5 gals would only add 50 lbs with extra sand and rock and water I bet your landlord would work with you or you could just tell them it's a 35 cause whose actually gonna check

[abrahamavelar]

If I go with the 29 this r the lights I've decided to get I've used that brand b4 on one of my many planted tanks had 4 running at the same time and worked great for me

True, who's gonna measure, as of right now I'm in the planning stages still I won't set it up until I move to the new place either mid march not later than first week of April also to consider is space moving with roommates leave me no room but I'm my own room
