What are my tank options?

[johnanddawn]

i would do i 24" true cube = plenty of room all the way around
two sides starfire and an external coast to coast overflow that would go on the wall by the hallway and would be covered by a removable panal to hide the plumbing from public view yet allow access when needed
a couple of vortecs under the overflow but on the same end
and a nice looking pillar with a bonzai twist right in the middle for rockwork

yea it really pops! i saw a piece at faois yesterday but wasnt sure if i should buy it because i am running the LED hood from the nano cube which has like 75w of white led and 16-18w of blue including my stunner strip.. you think that would be enough to get some decent growth out of it?

Sounds like a decent setup. How many gallons is that?

Are you keeping any other sps in your tank. What kind of LEDs you have? Any idea on the par values?

24x24x24 would be about 60 - i think this would be best because you dont want it too tight but...

30x30x24 would be about a 90 this would fit also but would be tight but with a little planning for cords and such could be done

im not exactly sure on the kind of LEDs but i am keeping an anemone, couple clams, couple caps, a few gulf sps (Oculina robusta, Oculina diffusa) some high some low..

i have the professional hood.. and i mounted a 6w blue stunner strip in the front and i plan on mounting another on the back..

If your caps are doing good than the setosa will be fine...give it some good flow and decent light.
