    i would first like to see what equipment you are going to be putting on this tank, and they i could start helping you out on what kind of corals you should start up with and things like that.

    I am in the same boat...only difference is that I have to satisfy the wants of my wife (who is allowing the funding for this) and the 3yr old, who this is sorta for.
