    im working on my 10gal so it will become a leaf fish tank. they dont move much and are really skinny so they dont need much room. i dont know if i have the ammount of flow i like so i might add another HOB filter for added movement and for chaeto. here are the pics!

    most of the material will be ordered from reefcleaners.org (great site, great prices) i am ordering mangroves (10) red gracilaria, and 5 lbs base rock from them.

    already an update. i put the other HOB filter on the tank. works like a charm. it moves more underwater than the other.

    yea their amazing. i ordered everything from reefcleaners. hopefully he still has that tube anemone. researched those a bit and sounded like it would be fine in the 29 gal reef. too bad the clowns wont host it though. i got the red gracilaria because it sounds cool and hopefully the leaf fish will turn red in my tank with that in there.

    yea when i get it im gonna take a pic of it then after it changes (hopefully it will) so that should be cool. im hoping that i can get a small one 1-2 inches so i can see it grow up. and those would be easier to get on frozen (mysis is easier than krill) so i cant wait!!
