I did it through a World Wide Corals. It's getting packed in dry ice and sent to me.
As I've written in my build thread (see sig for link) I had a bout of marine velvet in my tank that took a big toll on my fish population....
Pics! ;D
Definitely leave them (and feed them) and the first fish you put in there will have a field day.
Get it for $200 and you're not doing badly, provided it's in basically pristine shape. Even that isn't a "good" deal, but it would be a fair price....
I finally found him!!! Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Istiblennius sp.
With 4x48" bulbs over a 125 you should be able to keep some LPS in the middle of the tank. Each end will be low on light, but there will be enough to...

Welcome! Do you have a tank? If not, you're in the right spot to learn what you need to start one.
When you say "splashing up the sand," what do you mean? Is he scraping his side or is he using his tail? The former typically means a parasite, the...
You can definitely stack it against the glass (have it touching). This will give you more viewing room up front and allow more rock in the tank.
I would start with softies, migrate to LPS after the tank is running for a while and SPS after that and after the MH is up. Note that when you get...
