My bad, thought it was a 75 and you were using the 29 for the sump. Not sure why I put .05 instead of 0.5...but 0.5 would be what I really meant.

For a 29 gallon tank, I'd do a 5 - 10 gallon...

Keep a close eye on your ammonia levels. I would do a 20 gallon water change now, test a few hours later to see if it came down a little.

Yeah, I'd put them in the display tank and keep a close eye on your water chemistry for a few weeks.

Do you have the ability to do large water changes if needed?

That's kind of what I was thinking, but it does seem a few inches too tall. I'm not cutting anything off until I get it up and running for a few months...then I'll decide if it needs some modding.

I can put my hand inside the skimmer, so I'm pretty sure I can get my Dremmel inside as well. It looks like it would be pretty easy to cut the riser tube off just above the bubble plate.

The front cover pops off. You can push the little square out of the center of the cover. Put the venturi on and then put the cover back on.

I wonder if putting dimples in the ends of the needles would reduce drag enough to lower your wattage a little bit. Kind of like the dimples on a golf ball improve it's aerodynamics.

Maybe a few lbs of rubble. It's usually cheaper than regular LR and you can use it for attaching frags to later.

Re: thanks bomber

I think 3 MJ 900's (260 gph?)would give you about 20x's turnover. The 900's are the most energy efficient, but you could also go with 3 MJ 1200's (295 gph?) which would give you around 23x's...
