29g tank very new to the hobby

[Kade76]

4-5 month old 29g all input is welcome still learning. Tank is definitely a work in progress, please ignore the SpongeBob house I got it as a Christmas gift and am looking to replace it with something natural I would also like to know of any medium/large plants for the left side.

Plants? Do you have a light that will support coral?

Im still hesitant on coral I would like to get a handle on things more and I don’t think my light is strong enough they also seem like a lot of extra work.

About the same as plants really. They eat what your fish do too. You should at least try a coral. I honestly started with green star polyps that I thought was a plant...they are pretty forgiving.

A lot of us started exactly like you are!

I would probably hold off until your tank is a year. They do better with a more mature tank. I would definitely try an easier soft coral. Do you know what type of light you have?

Oh ok but also with my set up I can’t have any lights very high above the tank

Easy fix. Let me see what I can find. Hang on...

These are obviously entry level, but the reviews are decent, it has a low profile, and it would be a better option for your nem and some easier coral.

You mean to ship to you? And does your lid have a glass panel?
