Does my tank looks good?

Gernader · Apr 7, 2020

I just want to know your opinions about my tank and I’m wondering if there is anything needed to change in my tank since I got plenty of time to do stuff.

It is a 29g reef with no sump. It is turning 1 year old in 3 more days! I attached the pics and I also got a video of my reef under my signature! Thanks in advance

It looks amazing!!! I love the anemone in the middle with the vibrant green pops of color. I guess the only thing I would do is build higher up

Thanks, I also love my anemone! I was thinking to add more rocks too.

Appreciate that!

Agreed, looking good. You may want to add some height to the left of right side to give more room to mount corals.

Yeah, maybe making a slope with the nem on the top and some other corals going down. Also a GSP wall would look amazing on your tank!

I agree, I was planning to add more rocks but I wasn’t sure if I should do it.

Nice thinking! I have GSP, but it’s too small to make a wall right now.

A wall on your tank would probably take like a year but I think it would be worth it

I agree. The anemone is gorgeous but almost overpowers your tank with the short height of the scape. I'd add a bit more rock and maybe create an island for the nem so it won't move too much. I also noticed you have a some nice zoas on the bottom glass. Are you going to create a blanket of zoas there? That would look awesome!

Believe it or not, my anemone never moved a single inch since I added it to my tank! The place where the anemone is at, that is where I actually placed it the first time. For the Zoas, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do! I can’t wait to have a huge Zoa garden!

Great idea about the Zoa garden. I think the display is very attractive. Great color. What kind of lights are used?

Thank you! I am using a black box, Mars Aqua 165W, for my reef. It is mounted almost 13” above the water surface and is running at 75% blues and 0% whites.
