The other day I found a very inexpensively priced eclispe 29 gallon system on craigslist and took it home with me. After 3 hours of scrubbing mineral deposits and caked on algae out of the million little nooks and crannies on the hood and tank - it's almost perfect!
I've kept "community" and schooling fish (danios, corys, harlequins, neons, tetras, livebearers, some barbs, etc etc) in my 55g for three years and am really anxious to branch out and finally try something new. I want to keep something really different.
I'm loooking for suggestions or what you would do with a 29. I'm really thinking a species tank.... I've always loved Malawai cichlids and have read a few books about them but I think that a 29 would be too small? I'm up for just about anything really.
So I guess my question is, what would you keep if you had a freed up 29 gallon?
(I'd love to do a nano reef and take the plunge but my budget = non-reef friendly )
