It looked interesting (pics in my gallery I belive, if not I can post if you'd like), but the flow was horrible and very little room for fish or corals. Every piece of rock you add is that much less water in the system, and more water is better stability (another reason for the 40g over a smaller system). And things that are key are stability and patience. So I'd recommend trying out whatever tank you get with what you have now, and only add pieces you're 100% sure you like when you get more. Be picky, imo.

Thanks for the advice, I was just trying to get some more rock as I intend to have a sump/refugium and will have at least a 30 gallon system and only have 20 lbs of rock. I figured if I could find a deal at the swap I'd take it and save myself a little money over what the LFS wants.
