I had this tank up and running a few years ago, but I ended up taking it down for a while.  I don't have a lot of time, or money, so this is a very simple tank that I want to run with very low maintenance.

To accomplish this I don't have any live corals (sorry I guess this is not really a reef tank, but I might add some later).  I will be using the Hiatt system (since it worked well for me before).  I am not sure why there are very few people using this system, however last time running this system I did have a hard time keeping corals alive, and my angelfish suffered from HLLE.  I suspect the large amount of carbon could have been the cause of HLLE, and possibly my coral problems due to taking out too many trace elements (but I also had other issues). 


Tank:  29gal

Filtration:  5lbs tri-based activated carbon, with Hiatt right now bacteria.  I also use a canister type filter with filter floss before the carbon which I will change out when it looks like it is getting full, a second canister filter full of crushed coral to help maintain the ph, and a final micron filter to remove any carbon dust before returning it to the tank by way of a protien skimmer (Aquatop Xyclone PS370) used mostly for aeration.

Lighting:  2 HIPARGERO LED Aquarium Light

circulation: 2 Voyager Nano Stream Pump (530 GPH)

Fish: 
2- clown fish
2- Blue Sapphire Damselfish (I know these will probably be problems, but I love the color)
1- Royal Gramma
1- green spotted puffer (he might also be problems, but I really like this fish)
