Sorry to say my original tank was actually smaller. I believe it is a 22 gallon. The base area is not much smaller than the new tank however.

It's kind of funny, because my parents asked me what they should buy me for christmas, to which I responded "a bigger fish tank". They must not have known that the 29 was so similar to the one I already have.

Luckily, my fish have sort of calmed down a bit, in both fish tanks. Not sure how their behavior might change though. I'm eventually going to get a 55 gallon or so, but right now my spending money is in the negatives...lol.

For now I'm going to try to find some more rocks to put in there so my fish tank looks a little more like your guys' instead of a looking like a random collection of decorations. Speaking of rocks, I hear that you are supposed to check for calcium or something before using them. Does this matter considering that I already am using coral sand as a substrate to keep the PH at 8.0? Could new rocks alter the PH further or not?
