I found a 12g nano cube with live sand for $65. I think I'm going to have my friend pick it up for me tomorrow if I can confirm it a good deal. I am assuming so since they usually run $100-$150.
It comes with 24w cf light. How high do I need my wattage to start beginner corals? Thanks!

it is a good deal
cool, I should have it Sunday =)
My friend is picking it up tomorrow, does live coral need to be kept in heated water or will it be ok for a day or two in non-heated water. If it will die is that a big deal, will it come back to life once i put some live rock in it?

you could just put the sand in a bucket with a a heater
ya I'll see if my friend can do that, but if he can't will it pose a problem or just take tonger to get cycled? I'm going to buy some LR from someone who is tearing down there tank on sunday. Ill make a new thread then with pics.

ya it will be ok without a heater. worst case it will not be live anymore but LR will bring it back to live. and if you could get like a cup od LS from the guy your getting rock from that will help it alot to.

this is a good deal, just make sure the pump in the back of it works properly before you pick it up. the fact that he has a powerhead in there makes me skeptical. often times the part that goes out on the cubes is the pump from the filtration back in to the main display. as for these 'cf' lights, I dont know what your talking about. my nano 12g has two 27w power compact lights. these have been more than plenty light for most any corals minus some brains and other higher light corals.
