caferacermike Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 29g? Most anything. Watch your charges to see if they do well or begin to recede. Some anemones might enjoy a little more light so if they seem unhappy, trade them in. Most SPS should do well depending upon their placement in the tank.

ReefGazer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I would agree with caferacermike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Daniel Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 If you have a good quality bulb and your water conditions remain high, you can probably keep anything in a standard 29g with proper specimen placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have the coralife on a 24g. I have had no problems with light in keeping anything but I have not been keeping clams. One thing to watch out for is is that the clip on's don't really have a UV shield. According to RCA the only bulbs they have found that worked without burning corals were XM or coralife. I have a hamilton on mine with no problems. Just a heads up on the bulb you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispar Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 its coming from a member of the forum, with i believe 2 coralife 14k bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Those will be just fine. Just saying for when you swap the bulbs out. Just make sure that you replace with a shielded brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Daniel Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Would a glass shield mod be possible? Would there be room to add one, maybe on the inside? It doesn't have to be a perfect fit, but as long as it filtered the light entering the tank, it might be worth a shot. I hate that you have to limit yourself to just two bulbs...

Chrispar Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) i was thinking that too, you could possibly slide one in where the lil metal bulb protection grid goes Edited September 12, 2009 by Chrispar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
