Please tell my wife this, who is wondering why the 180g tank I bought almost 2 years ago is still in the garage.

No wait, don't tell her that. In fact, don't ever mention it!

I just wanted to know before ordering the tank, I already ordered it. Yes I have many months to think, thinking does not help unless you can try few options.

You need to see Joe at Joe's Aquarium and Reef Rental! Try before you buy.

Unfortunately, there is NO JA&RR. :(

The only solution is to take a look at pictures, YouTube video, visit stores and local reefers. See what stuff looks like and TAKE YOUR BEST GUESS! It's only money...
 
to make this easy for you, come by the shop i will loan you a kessil A350w so you can put it over the tank i think you will be surprised that the W at 8-10" off the water will cover your tank just fine front to back, most other fixtures(even the standard A350) can really only handle a 24x24 footprint IME....

I have the same setup. :)
 
Nish-you might want to hold off on getting a anemone. It's typically recommended to wait 9-12 months for your tank to mature before adding one.

I'll put the over/under on this one at 3 months. ;)

Thanks Jim, Obviously I didn't know. What is the logic behind waiting ? Water params? Is there any link you can share where I can read further ?
 
I got the info. It all depends on the tank params. I will wait until my params are stable for 4 straight months.
