Right on. I'm gonna take a trip out to Vivid Aquariums tomorrow and see what they've got and then go the online route. I picked up a few nice pieces from the past but it seems all the good rock ends up in their (f'n amazing) displays!

[nosser]

i"ll be watching as well!

[simplenough]

Yea jz is correct.

Good luck!

[simplenough]

ok the outside of the tank will be 12"long 12" wide 9" tall making the display 9x9x12

yup.

[nosser]

If i remember correctly the main display will be 12"x12"x9" since the back will be sectioned of at 3" with a false wall, with space for a heater, chaeto, etc. and it will have a hole for a pump (sized for a mj 900)

 

this was from from the GB link I was under the understanding that it was a 12" cube with 3" of the back was the for filtration..

[lajz9]

OK. The dimensions I have above are correct! Please stop posting about the size of the tanks...would be so nice to be able to just delete...

I deleted mine.

 

How many Sexies are you planning?

[Gerber77]

Vivid has sexies for 9.99

Are you going to go with any fish? and what are you planning as far as coral?

Yeah, i'll definitely be getting them from Vivid, will give me a reason to go stare at their tanks for a while.

 

At this point I'm going to say no fish, but that could very easily change if I find something I really like.

 

Still undecided on corals, I've got a few ideas but nothing solid at this point.

[spanko]

Tagging along.

[lajz9]

Yay, got my posting rights back after being a bad little reefer.

 

Got a JBJ 70W Viper coming with a XM 20K bulb from KnOt-HaRd. Thanks man!

[simplenough]

JZ i sent you a PM, and that baffle stuff is fixed.

[bob21115]

(Somewhat)Final stocking decision:

 

Pair Mated Harlequin Shrimp

SPS / Monti's / Echino's / Zoas / Palys

 

Not planning to stock any fish at this time. May add some sexies depending on my livestock budget.

 

 

I got my mated harlequins yesterday.

[lajz9]

Got my 70W JBJ Viper with 20k XM bulb today. Can't wait for the tank to arrive!

[pismo_reefer]

thisthreadisdissapointing!

I completely agree, but I'm not one to post pics of a light in a box so WTF do you want?!

 

Maybe I'll just stop posting all together...

[simplenough]

ha, umm they usually go for around 10 bucks here in miami..

most are 10 -20 a polyp here....

[bob21115]

I this $10.00 ea. would be fine.

[lajz9]

Thank you to those who have provided a serious answer.

 

If I decide to add them they will be added at $10/ea.

[lajz9]

Still can't make a damn decision on what I want direction I want to take the tank...

 

Now considering going with mostly acans with a few zoas/palys mixed in and maybe a few easy SPS at the very top.

 

Harlequin shrimp and maybe some sexies for decoration, no fish.

 

Does anyone think the JBJ 70W w/ XM 20K bulb would be too much light for mostly acans? In my 40g most of my acans are in the bottom half of the tank but this will be over 10w/gallon.

lol I hope I not I am running the same set up except with the Ushio 20k. I think we will be good as long as dont lower the light to close to the water. Its amazing how hot these vipers get.
