It is the same tank but it doesn't have any of the corals. I moved those into an 80G. The 180 has live rock, fish and a couple of anemones in it right now. Anytime you want to come down to check it out...feel free.
A warning though...once the plunge is taken its really hard to get out lol. I'm sure you will enjoy this hobby...you are doing the best thing...research. I will miss it but I am sure that "my baby" will be well taken care of lol. All the hardware is included, I did drop the price a bit cuz the bulbs should be replaced. The T5s are about 2 months old but the halides are over a year.
