This is a beautiful tank! Do you have all your equipment in a sump?

I am starting a 29 gallon. I just bought the fluval 305 and wondering how much you like it, and whether you have had any problems. I am planning on saltwater but I was wondering how expensive your energy bill is because of the tank? Also your aquarium looks great and fish look happy

dont you think that tang should be in a bigger tank? or can it still do well in a small tank like this?
