I just upgraded my tank from a 25 gallon to a 29
Link to old thread:

Been through some challenges and a big learning curve but now it's settled so I decided to upgrade (albeit only a little bit)

Current stock list

2 ocellaris clownfish
1 green spotted puffer
1 lawnmower blenny
1 firefish goby

Current corals

Frogspawn coral
2 heads with two mouths each

Two head green with purple tips hammer coral

One large head electric green torch coral

Thee small heads torch coral

(FYI I love euphyllia lol)

Purple grape monti cap that I break all the time

Frag with a ton of green palythoa

Xenia frag and baby elsewhere in tank

Frag of eagle eye and radioactive dragon eye zoas

Green ricordea mushroom

And a Hawaiian feather duster

I like the 1st scape.

Looks good over all, might try a black back just for kicks.

I didn't like the big opening in the middle I dislike a few of my rocks but my LFS doesn't have any decent ones in right now so I'm trying to work with what I've got.

And I tried black on the tank when it was 25g it was just too dark for my liking and any bit of salt creep showed

Personally if I could find rocks I liked I'd want the pillars with a nice flat rock in the bottom between them as a place for mushrooms but i need a few nice porous pieces of dry rock Cause I've got smaller rocks that I hate scaping with

I had a crash and I'm fighting a sudden aiptasia outbreak after my upgrade Lost a couple fish too

The 1st scape has a minimalist look to it which appeals to me.

I hate scaping too, drives me nuts. You can always break rocks up.

Peppermint shrimp for Aiptasia work well for me, just make sure they are true peppermint and not camel.

Sorry about the crash but I agree I like your first scape a lot!!

 

[Bpultz]

Scaping drives me insane but I'm getting better


I'm gonna order some aiptasia x next month

The crash cost me my zoas, torches and monticap so I've gotta replace them.

No real changes in the tank. Some coral growth. A couple new corals

 

[Chrisfish]

Well we always love updated pictures
