Jus introducing myself and maybe some ideas on live rock setup

[Kdean71]

Hi all. New to saltwater but have wanted one for 15 years.. I got a 29 gallon biocube for decent price with sand and fish included.. I got live rock and trying to make sure it all looks ok for a setup. I'm excited to keep learning and find this site helpful..

Welcome to R2R.

Great start, make sure you feed that dwarf angel different food types.

What lighting type are you using?

Using stock lighting for now.. all the fish came with tank I feed them seaweed she gave me and reef frenzy.. still trying to figure it all out.. so any suggestions are appreciated.. I am checking into a small korrilla for more movement in water.

Cool.

Think about getting some quality frozen such as rods. Just mix up the feeding types.

Try to get a power head with more flow than the Koralia Nano version. It's usually not enough flow long term when you start adding corals. At least 400-600 gph/gallon per hour.

^ Nice flow chart for Hydor power heads. Good place to window shop as well.

What kind of rods do you suggest? I have a wrasse who keeps going after my hermit crabs I think their called. Would anyone know why or is it typical.
