Thats great guys, thanks alot for all the words of encouragement!
I do know I wanna go reed and not fish only, Ill use an aragonite sand bed as well
How much rock and sand would be good for a 29g tank if I dont have to go 1pound per gallon like you said?!
I will do lots of reading up before I go crazy into this! Plus I agree with not worrying about how much I will put into this. Ive put tons of money into my cichlid tank and have never looked back. I love it
