Ron,
I pretty much followed the advice of a poster over at nano-reefs. He is pretty much known as the man of the BC29 with all the mods he has made to make the BC29 really efficient.
Got my BC29 today...... - Nano-Reef.com Forums
I made all my mods over a few months, sapphire
skimmer in 2nd chamber, modified flow from 1st to 2nd chamber, Rio 6hf return pump with loc-line splitter for two return heads, one is hydor flo and the other a normal head for surface agitation. Upgrade lighting NanoTuners 144w upgrade with better fans.
The BC29 is a beautiful tank but they didn't really put quality thought into the filtration system ie terrible carbon filter, I used a dremel and took out the carbon in the filter and now fill the filter frame with filter padding which allows for better flow through the filter. Bio balls are a terrible for fitration as it contributes to
Nitrates.
Here is my stock list: 29 gal Bio Cube, Nanotuners 4.36 144w light upgrade, Sapphire Aquatics BC29
skimmer, Rio 6hf main with locline return splitter, hydorflo, Candy Coral, Zoas, Green toadstool,
BTA, Asst. Snails, Emerald Green Crab, Xenia, small featherdusters, Saddleback Clown, Bicolor Blenny, purple pseudochromis, green clown goby, yellow clown goby, Purple Ricordias.
