I too have a 29 gallon and was thinking of getting a pair of black saddleback anenomefish. Those are sweet!!!:cool: Deepsea, let me know the details of your setup, I want to emulate it. I don't know too much about saltwater but I want to learn.

BTW, I have a cool Walmart story. I was checking out the oscars as usual and feeling very sorry for them(as usual). Well, this time they were looking really skinny and were begging furiously for food. So, I took a container of Wardley's cichlid pellets and threw some in there for the O's to eat.:eek: HAHA, I couldn't believe I did that but I couldn't stand seeing them like that. Don't worry, I bought the container of pellets.

Oh, one more thing. They had a sign up that said 1 gallon for 1 inch of fish right next to the oscar tank. :mad:

My dream fish. Dogface Puffer.
Once I get my own place with enough room to hold multiple large tanks I'm getting one of these. They're venomous so you can't touch the skin when doing water changes. Yikes!!! :eek:

Yeah, horrid, isn't it?

Black Saddleback Anenomefish, eh? Sounds interesting...what size do they get to? I'm lookin' for a pair of something else to go in my tank. I'm doing a 29 gallon Fish Only with Live Rock, with a 20 gallon sump (10-15 gallons refugium, rest sump). I want a Dwarf Zebra lionfish in there for sure, I just need a fish that I can keep a pair of that he won't be able to eat. I'm incredibly excited about it.

Don't emulate me, I have no SW experience either. LoL. I'll tell you how it goes. I've been doin' some research, and think that it may work. It'll be a blast, at any rate.

BTW, what skimmer you plan to use? I'm thinking a Prizm of some sort at this point...they're all so dang expensive, it hurts:D .

I'm really excited to get started, but probably won't be able to until a month after school is out.

*Goes off and continues saving up every penny he can find to try and get a decent skimmer*

The Red Sea Prizm skimmer is on sale at BigAls for $70. Would that be good enough? "Suitable for marine & reef aquariums up to 90 gallons out performs all other skimmers in its class skim enhancing, 2 stage, convergent -divergent reaction chamber."

The Saddleback Clown can grow up to 4.7 inches. Here's some info on them. Probably not the best source: http://animal-world.com/encyclo/marine/clowns/saddle.php

$70, huh? Thats not bad at all. I'll look into it. I'm going to junior for all of my advice, so thats who I'll probably ask. What are you gonna put in your 29? What are you gonna do with your set-up? I'm interested to know.
