29 gallon softie q's

[twintrades]

Should i have a skimmer ?? Or would i be ok to just do Regular water changes ?

How close can softies be ?

Water quality should be slightly richer in nutrients ?

It will probly house a mantis as the main resident.

1. No you dont need a skimmer. You will be able to get away with water changes... + softies like the water abit dirty..
2. How close can they be , well it depends on the coral each one has its own needs . Some might sting , while others might grow ontop .. Need to do research on each one.
3. Yepp..
I am not sure about the mantis but from what I have read the corals will be ok but they might get moved around by the mantis were ever he sees fit..

I have riccs in with my mantis and she doesn't bother anything. I have a few small rocks and pebbles in there for her to play with hoping that she'll leave them alone and she does.

And I just do water changes, I don't use a skimmer at all.

I suppose whether you need a skimmer or not depends on how heavily your tank is stocked with fish and inverts. While softies like dirty water, algae loves dirty water and will quickly take over a tank.

Yea i know. Kiss method is going to work here. Might just have to do more water changes.

This is helpful to me as well, as that is what I'm doing with my 29 gallon tank too.
