Face of Deceit's 29 Gallon [NEW PICS!]

Well due to a house change, I have "down-graded" from my 84 Half-Round to a temporary 29 gallon. I have had the 29 on stand-by for 3 months, and transferred all my livestock (that I was keeping) to the 29 last week.

29 Gallon DT - 10 Gallon Sump
CPR Overflow - Mag7 Return
2 Koralia 2's and a Koralia Nano 425
DIY CREE LED lighting - 8CW XP-G, 6 XR-E Royal Blue
2x24" Actinic T5HO retrofit lights
Bubble Magus QQ Skimmer
BRS Reactor (modified) running Rox 0.8 and GFO
ReefKeeper Lite w/ pH and Temp control
JBJ ATO w/ Tom's Aqualifter

I transferred my Bangaii Cardinal, and 3 Blue/Green Reef Chromis over. Sadly, my Blue Spot Jaw died shortly after introducing him to the 29 gallon...he had been sickly looking for a couple months, but was eating like a champ.

Now for the fun stuff!

Each pic set will have just Actinic first, then Daylight.

That is a great scape, nice quality of rock. You have a really nice collection of corals. I really like the ricordia garden. Of course I am just a little partial to the Texas stunner.
It all look very nice. It will be interesting to see if you find the nano as enjoyable as the previous larger tank.

 

Thanks!

Well, this is only temporary until I complete my move. I did not want to move the 84 gallon tank (for sale), so moved everything into a 29. My wife and I both like the smaller tank just as much, but not it's location. I still have the 84 gallon setup in the Living Room until I sell off all of the rock. The 29 is in the corner of our kitchen...not readily viewable. I will be building one of 3 tanks in our new house, 150 Wide, 180 Standard, or 225 Wide. So I will enjoy the 29 gallon until it gets replaced. ;D

 

super nice temporary setup! nice pics too!

 

Thanks. Amazing what cell phones can do now. Pics are almost as nice as my Nikon.

 

Looks great, love the garden

 

Definitely an awesome looking tank. Sweet looking blasto's.

What are your general thoughts on your tube anemone? I keep eyeballing & considering one.

 

Thanks! Trying to keep up. :

It is one of the most focal parts of my tank. People seem to see it before anything else. I read and researched all I could before buying...and no one said anywhere that it had eaten any of their fish. Well, mine ate a Chromis 3 weeks in. I feed it twice a week, mixture of brine and mysis. It is a Non-Photosynthetic, so you must feed it. I use a baster, and squeeze out slowly. It likes to shoot back into its tube at the slightest disturbance. It also took out a favia that was near it (stinging I assume). Even with it killing 2 other pieces of livestock, I have plans to get another. This time, purple with the glowing green mouth.

 

I hear ya there. A purple one in the Divers Den was what first got me looking at them. I got one corner that I can evict a pagoda out of that I think will make a nice home. Over in the corner it would still see decent flow and it would be a little out of the way to maybe mitigate some fish eating hazards.

 

Just bought more goodies from 10DollarFrags.com! Will update on Wednesday with pics! ;D
