Advice for getting started?

[IJC]

Rich,

Very impressive tank... some of the best colors i've seen in online pictures.

I am certainly keeping dimensions in mind while looking for a tank... I think I want to go with 18" deep if I can get away with it though - just for the bigger display area. I guess I'll have to pile up some rock or something to put the light-lovers on.

I like the look of the 36x18x18. There sure are a lot of tall narrow tanks out there... some to the point where they seem pretty useless.

Thanks for the help.... I'll probably be needing a lot of it
