29gallon reef started.

I'm planning on getting an Ai hydra. I currently have 3 65 watt power compacts with individual reflectors and they get hot.

I was looking at the rapidled dimmable onyx but didn't want to buy a controller also.

Ice also considered the evergrow it2040 from reef radiance, but I really like the look of the hydras light on the videos I've seen.
 
I thought of a livestock so far. Pink spot goby, fork tail Blenny, chalk basslet, 2 naked occellaris clowns, and maybe a fairy wrasse. 6 fish too much??
 
Cant wait to see some fish swimming around in there!! Hope you keep posting pics as you start adding Fish and Corals!!
 
In my 29 gallon I have a pair of snowflake ocellaris clowns, a royal gramma, a yellow watchman goby, and a yellowtail damsel. But I have a total system volume of 50 gallons with my sump and connected frag tank. I also have the reef octopus nwb 110 which is rated for more than my system.

Before I had a sump I was told 4 appropriately sized fish is about max for a 29.
 
Went to fintastic today. Since there isn't any algae growing I didn't get a cuc I did get a lawnmower Blenny out him in my 10g until the 29 is ready. Just need to find lights. Salinity is extremely low gonna do a water change Monday.
 
Purchased LEDs waiting for them to arrive. How should I/can put th above the tank? Some 2x4s and wiring??

I haven't figured out how I'm want to put them over the tank yet. But these are from when I got the ligjta
 
What kind of leds did you get? I went with a Diy a fellow reefer from this forum (c_healy) made for me. I love it so far. I got a great deal on a reefkeeper light locally and then had the custom led built. I'll be building a new canopy to mount it in soon.

Tanks looking good!

also my chalice bleached I'm assuming my light is too strong for it, I moved it completely under a shelf until it recovers color and tissue in the damaged area. :(
