I would be wary if glasscages, there are tons of horrible reviews for their tanks on other forums.

Where should I buy from?

If my tank is only 12'' tall, is that going to limit my choice of creatures/etc?

Yes it will, i thought it was 17 inches tall??

It actually won't limit you, fish are more horizontally oriented creatures than vertically oriented. The only exception I can think of is seahorses.

The only way I can think of it being a limiting factor is for aquascaping and coral placement

But aren't there some fish that 12" wont work with like sailfin tangs, and if there is a 12inch+ fish how will he eat off the surface?

 

[little_fish]

He isn't going to buying fish like that, it is pretty hard to find fish that big

 

[I666NoB666I]

The one I was looking at was 17" but I would like to go down to 12". Where is a good place to buy my tanks/equipment from?

I won't have any large fish in there I don't think. Right now I plan on getting emerald crabs, an anemone after 1 year w/clowns, acropora and its crab, and a pom pom crab and various corals. Not really sure yet. I honestly like inverts more than fish.

Why not just buy a standard 125g tank, your dimensions are pretty close to that anyway.

 

[I666NoB666I]

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to do stuff in a 12" tall tank?

 

[BL1]

A little but, you're going to spend a great deal more money if you go with something other than a standard tank dimension.

I can get a 125 with a stand for 450 local new. Go visit your local stores the cost of the tank is going to be one of the lower costs.
