you are right, one must do his/her research before jumping into it, impulse buyers fall out of the hubby just as fast as it takes a tank to cycle. I think the little 29gallon should be lowtech. One hang on the back is ok. A skimmer is a very good think to have for a saltwater tank, but I think that a fish only 29gallon tank with a few little fish, maybe a few hermit carbs and a shrimp can live with out it. If you do a small water change every week. It is a pain to do waterchanges but its something you have to do, if you want to stay in the hubby. I think that with proper care you can scale down and set up any size tank for saltwater. I have had little set-ups only
2 1/2gallon nano with one tiny powerhead.
