I found an awesome cube on craigslist (36"x36"x21" tall) which is about 120 gallons. Would 2 mp40's do the trick, and how about 2 18"x8.5" led fixtures with 36 leds each? I may add vho supplements.
 
Yes and Yes!

That is almost the exact dimension of my tank.
 
I think one MP40 would be great on a cube, my tank is 36x20x18 and @1/3rd of the power it at the point of making sandstorms. I would suggest T5HO for supplements, they are less bulky and save on power.

I think that the current owner has vhos, I will retrofit t-5's in that case.
 
I talked to the guy over the phone, corner overflow, 2" drain, (unsure about the return size) euro style rim, huge canopy, and stand, pine according to the owner. He wants $450 for the tank with stand and canopy, so I'm going to take it. (after some haggling) I will start a build thread soon.
