    All I can remember (I am at work) is that it has a curved front and it is a pretty decent size tank. I cant remember the measurements.

    I was going down the same road using tap and chemical but after seeing my neighbors new set up and he used the tap w chemical no way. I bought a RO filter and will make my water and delay my set up. The cost of buying RO water was more than the filter but I need 120 gallon set up.

    I have not heard good things with Walmart/grocery store water. I would suggest to find a LFS that specializes in fish/corals. They most likely sell RO/DI. Mine is 50 cents a gallon or google and join a local reef club in your area. Being a newcomer in the hobby, club members may offer free RO/DI a few times, mine did. Good luck and we want pics!

    You can use tap water and treat it, but it's highly recommended to use RO/DI water like many stated above. Welcome to the reef.

    I would get an RO/DI 4 stage, makes water almost just H2O. I don't have an RO/DI BUT the water in my area is good, just be careful using tap.
