Hello everyone. I decided to post up my 29g tank.
I am totally new to saltwater, i started my tank about 6 or 7 months ago, so all suggestions are welcome, and feel free to yell at me if i did something totally stupid.
Tank Equipment:
-29 gallon tank
-Aquaclear 30 Filter with Phosphate remover and Carbon
-Maxijet 900 Power head
-Koralia Power Head
-Seaclone 150 Skimmer
-Oddysea 130w (65 watt x2) PC light. 10000k day bulb and actinic bulb, with moonlights
Current Stock:
-30lbs Cribsea Live Sand
-45lbs Live Rock
-Torch Coral
-Button Polyps (hitchhikers)
-Brown and some Green Mushrooms
-Green Zoas, and Orange Zoas (i think)
-Green Star Polyps (maybe empty?)
-1 Hitchiker Bristle Star
-1 Hitchiker Asterina Star
-2 Nassarius Snails
-6 Reg Leg Hermit Crabs
-2 Engineering Gobys
-2 Ocellaris
-1 Emporer Cardinal
-1 Sailfin Blenny
-1 White Ring Urchin
Goals:
My goals for this tank is to turn it into a decent reef tank. I would alot like to start getting much more into corals in the not so distant future. I am also planning on guying an overflow box, refrigium, and sump sometime soon as well. That way i am able to hide all those annoying filters, skimmers etc etc.

Starting up the tank:
Water Settled (gotta love the freshwater background lol, i have it taken off and it's a solid black now)
First Live Rocks:
Cycling (yes yes i had damsels in there, shame on me. wont be doing that any more. no damsels died)
3 Months later (used to have a pincushion urchin, i got it sick and tried to retore its health.3/4 of its spikes were missing when i got it. lasted for 2 months:
