Yeah, I have thought about that. Might need either the smaller powerhead, or at least a controller for it. You know, provided the Hydor controllers let you turn down the flow output.
29 gallon upgrade...sorta

Update. Aiptasia are dead now thanks to healthy doses of Aiptasia X.
In more happy news, my Midnight Clown - The Darkness - has been trying to host on my Duncan Coral lately, and I guese she was successful? She certainly has been hanging out in it almost none stop for the past week. At least during the day. I think she leaves it at night once the corals close up.

Update time. Just got in a Hydor Koralia Nano 240 today for my 10 gallon and installed it.
I believe on Wednesday I am getting an order from @reefcleaners which I plan to use to restock some snails and crabs in both the 29 and the 10. Also getting a porcelain crab in the shipment. Not really sure which tank I want to put it in.
Next thing I need to do is get like a gyre or another powerhead for my 29 gallon. Leaning more towards getting a gyre since they have more flow coverage than just a normal powerhead.

Should be getting my reefcleaners package tomorrow or Thursday. Anything I need to know about keeping porcelain crabs?

Nice thread man I love the AIO didn't know they made those to be honest. I had a 30 gallon reef also: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/first-ever-sw-tank-for-me-30g-nano.738981/
But moved it to my 90G. I had 2 Hydor 425's in my nano and they worked amazing for that tank.
nice tank though

Okay. It has been well over a year since I last updated this (almost like some sort of huge global event was going on that basically sucked the life outta everyone that it didn't literally end the lives of), so it is time for an update. Mostly a sad one.
As some of you may recall during this whole mess, there was also a really, really, REALLY bad winter storm dubbed Yuri (Uri? Not sure which spelling is tue one they used). Well, a few months before that, I started to have issues with a dino outbreak, which killed a few of my lps (hammer, frogspawn, duncans, cristata). Unfortunately, the winter storm did cause me to lose power, for about 24 hours. That was all it took for the dino to relapse worse than ever. I lost all remaining lps save my 2 leptastrea corals (still going strong) and my candy canes (they finally lost the battle about a month ago). In addition, I also lost my Royal Gramma, Fairy Wrasse, and Coral Beauty. In my 10 gallon I lost my Exquisite Firefish and about 2 weeks later my Sixline Wrasse.
Thankfully, The Ghost and The Darkness are still alive and well in the 29 gallon, and my soft corals (especially all my shrooms) have taken over. Still have some Dino, but I am dealing with it. Also need to restock on CUC, and plan to get more fish soon for both tanks. Baby steps though. Baby steps.... also Christmas is coming soon, so I might be more preoccupied with Christmas shopping (as well as a cruise at the end of November) to go seriously wild restocking yet.

Small update today. And it is for my 10 gallon. Since I am going out of town at the end of the month, I purchased a small nano ato for it. It is one of those gravity fed ones that you hook up a 1 or 2 ltr bottle of rodi water to. Like I said. Just a small update. Also might be getting new corala soon.

Small update. Bought a few corals from @WWC last week off of eBay. Hopefully they will grow successfully without issue. I just need some glue and epoxy putty so I can place them any input on how high or low I should place any of them?
