____________________


Well this is what I had in mind, some things may change (like the fish), but I know for a fact I want a Midas Blenny to be my main fish and build friendly tank-mates around him. If you guys have any comments/suggestions/criticism please don't hesistate. I want to make sure I'm doing this right. The Kessil light is currently on it's way, and I can't wait!!

Hmm not sure about just one Kessil...and if u get two later on, maybe just get a ai vega now and dont have to worry about lighting again...

Here is my 29gallon tank...

kind of got the two Ecoxotic PAR38 first and felt like i needed more light so then i got the Kessil...overall i used like $500...wished i just got an Ai sol (since ai vega didnt come out yet) in the first place so it would be better....

anyways, thats my point of view on the lighting but i like the Kessil a150w too, works great!

Yeah I know I'm probably going to have to get a 2nd light. And the light is already on it's way. I like your setup. I was initially looking at the Par38's as well.
