Ok i have put the wife off as long as i possibly can and if i dont order a light to start her coral tank yesterday iam gonna be sleepining in the back yard especial since i have gotten $495.00 worth of fish in the last 2 weeks (3 fish)....


So here is the only fixture i found that has the option of 2 seperate bulbs that will fit the 29g without having to move the light fixture for feeding ect while runing an hob filter (temp tank until we move in the near future and i set up her 175g bow thats in the garage now


Dual satellite power compact 30" fixture
sunpaq lamps
420mm/460mm actinic bulb @ 65 watts
6700k/10000 daylight bulb @ 65 watts (will change to a whiter light because i think its to yellow for my tastes)

iam not concerned abut flow as i will get what ever korlas i need lighting is what iam concerend about...

mushrooms and other softies is all iam looking at as far as corals go... maybe 3 to 5 nano fish.

That lighting fixture will me just fine as i see it...Your best bet is to list specific softies before purchase and then we can best advise on each to ensure suitability..
 
Well i cant give specifics because i dont know yet.. but it will be BEGINER level corals that fit within this lighting parameters of this light fixture... with the wife on my but (for 4 years now about HER reef tank) and the cash avaliable at this exact moment it will have to be this light fixture so corals will have to sutiable for this light fixture... there will be an upgrade in the near future to a 175g (sitting in garage now) after we move and i want to save bucks for high end lighting on the 175g bow front
