What size tank is it again? No bigger then a 20g right? I have a cube tank that I'm setting up right now that is 20 inches long by 16 inches wide by 14 inches tall. I think it looks about 20g ish but I don't now how to figure it out for sure. I put water, salt, heater and powerhead in today and cured live rock is coming tomorrow, not sure if you can use already cured rock or not either.

Cool thanks for figuring that out for me. I thought it looked about 20g but I didn't know how to figure it out for sure.
