29 Gallon Nano Reef

MisterTickle · 03/03/2010, 07:18 PM

Okay so for some reason searching is disabled and I can't find my old topic but I am starting a 29 gallon nano reef, I decided to go from FOWLR to Reef after I was offered by my friend at my new fish store (which just opened up and is awesome) a nice T5 setup, It just needs a baste or w/e it is which I'm going to pick up soon. I put like 24 pounds of live rock 10 snails in today and I put 3 on the rocks and I was wondering if this is okay or they should all be on the sand

Also was wondering if this Protein skimmer was alright I wanna put it on the right of the tank next to the heater.

I really don't want to spend too much on a skimmer as I don't have much money and want to get some Clowns and Damsels and some nice corals.

I'm starting to love this hobby.

Edit: I find it kinda lol that the one on the left climing the wall is now at the top and the rest are all completly still yet hes moving up like he wants to escape its lol
