newbie from tampa fl xenia take over

hello from tampa fl,
my name is earl and i have a 29g reef tank. i know its small but i have an apartment so my goal for a 200g will only come true once i get a house. im still a lil green with this hobbie. but tell me what you think of my set up advice from the experts is welcomed. 29g reef tank hang on back filter and protein skimmer 135w compact lighting. no sump or metal halides. one day.

 

Looks good. How long has it been running?

Xenia's have a nasty habit of taking over. Sometimes you can control them with other corals that will sting them if they get too close.

 

Hello and welcome to 3reef

You have an inspiring 29 gal; it couldn't have been easy to get it all going so well.

Clearly you have the talent for xenias too.

Welcome.

 

thanks everyone, yeah for some reason xenias do well along with my mushrooms, my monty has grown from the size of a half dollar coin to 3/4 the size of a cd. but yeah its been trial and error when i started the 29g especially with filtration and lighting issues

 

Loved your rockwork!

 

thanks i did a lil rock scaping with some pvc pipes oak wood dowels and drill bits.
