Yeah. I feel I should take that back... it seems that whoever is making these does it custom to order.

Ya its a bit pricey but seeing that it comes with a venture skimmer (the red one) and comes stock with so much light its worth the dough! and i haven't seen any other nanos with the custom wood cabinet. I like it and i think it is worth every penny. plus its just good looking i can't wait to get my live rock. Does anyone have any suggestions on where i should get my rock and sand? there aren't any good LFS here in Phoenix, at least i haven't found one

Looks like it will be a pretty nice tank.

I live in Phoenix also, there are a few good LFS here...
About The Reef - this is a great place, healthy livestock and lots of it. It's on Price & University. There is also a new store on the I-10 & Chandler Blvd. called AZ Seabottom, they are just starting up but should have all of thier tanks setup by the end of the year.

I ordered my LR from http://www.premiumaquatics.com/ it was great looking and came with lots of hitchhikers.

Ya i have been in to About the reef and they have really nice stuff but the employees and the owner or manager i think his name is skip has always acted as though he is superior to every one and that i am barely worth his time, plus almost everything in the store is marked not for sale! ill have to go check out the other store when its done i hope they are more kind.

Do you have any pictures of your tank with the rocks you got from premium aquatics?

is it glass or acrylic? if acrylic just be very careful cleaning it, it only takes one grain of sand....

All about the reef used to be "Ocean Vue" a few years back. They moved and when they went to the location All about the reef is at now, it changed. I honestly don't think it's as nice as when it was Ocean Vue. But it is a nice place, "most" of the employees know what they are doing. AZ Seabottom seems be a good place as well. I just bought my new Red Seamax from them. I really prefer Aqua Touch, they are a bit spendy for things, but the staff is very knowledgeable and the store is very nice.

You know there is a link in the Arizona section that has all the local fish stores names and numbers for Phoenix, hopefully this link works for you. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1158507

Nice tank... better looking than the 10g standard glass I just setup... I miss AZ in the fact that there were so many choices of stores w/i reasonable driving distance, now I have to drive 1hr 45mins away to find any store that has salt fish.

BTW, the Devils got screwed in their final ranking.. losing to a #5 Oregon and #11 USC should have put them higher than those other guys that lost to unranked teams. Hopefully we can trounce the Longhorns. You going to make the trip to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego?

Ya the 11th finish is kinda gay but o well at least asu is on the turn around and within the next few years maybe we will be able to keep up with usc! it sucks we didn't make it to a bcs game but holiday bowl will be good against texas!

This tank is sweet! i love it and i find myself just sitting in front of it just admiring the tank its self and once i finally get some rocks in it ill be done for ill never leave its side! haha this reef keeping is more addictive than drugs!

and yes this tank is acrylic i like that it has less distortion than glass and i will be so careful!
