| I never used the Bioballs. I just replaced them with live rock rubble.
The tank looks nice, what are the dimensions? |

| Awesome! If you have any hard-to-clean spots, a paper towel soaked in white vinegar will work wonders. Just lay the towel on top of any problem areas and let it sit for a few minutes. It will dissolve any leftover spots. Hubby and I just got done cleaning up the acrylic frag tank, and we couldn't believe what a great job the vinegar did! Anyway, be sure to update often with lots of new pics! Congrats!  |

| Went to a new store for salt water tanks only and bought 20 more pounds of live sand..... it was the only kind they had....... reef crystals...... a thermometer and a deionized water filter
I was wondering if I should get a protein skimmer for the 29...... they have one made for it? Last edited by Shawnie; August 8th, 2009 at 04:28 PM.

| I've not heard good reviews of the Biocube protein skimmers. You might want to save your money on that.
You don't have to use a skimmer; as long as you are diligent about maintenance your tank should be fine without one. |
