Here's a good way to tell.....if they have claws, they need a chiller, if they naturally have no claws, then you won't need a chiller. The ones in Publix usually are from up north and therefore, need a chiller. As long as you have good filtration, plenty of hiding places, and a chiller, you should be able to do it. I also live in south fla. 
In broward tho.

No Publix is just the main supermarket that carries them down here.
Well, thanks for the info guys, I would not have known any of that at all. x_x I might give it a whirl but I don't have a lot of money unfortunately so I might stick with my original plan of having the tank for my smaller fish. =\ Sorry.
I'm going to work on it for sure some day and I'll make sure to show you guys the results when I do.

I know what Publix is. I was joking. The other paragraph was serious in that their name is Maine Lobsters. They are predominantly caught off the shores of the State of Maine in New England. The lobsters without claws (sold as Rock Lobsters) are really Florida Spiney Lobsters (classified as a crawfish for some weird reason). There are also Slipper Lobsers on our reefs that look like giant cockroaches. They don't taste like cockroaches though.rba718;1783866; said:
Way to let us down. Just go to a dive shop and ask them to bring you a lobster.
Now that the thread is officially over, can I pick on your spelling? At first glance, I thought the title of the thread was "Resquishing a Lobster!" I have never considered a lobster, but I have resquished a 'possum before
And resque is spelled rescue. When you have a word that doesn't look right, just google the word and google will give you the correct spelling.

See, normally I'm good with spelling but I had work for 10 hours yesterday and was too tired to type correctly. Also I'm too lazy to care anyway.
Good news though, I drove around today and did some research. Also, remembered that my uncle cleans salt water tanks for a living so I think I'm going to go through with it!
I also found some Lobsters at the supermarket today but they were pretty beaten up. I'll wait till some fresh ones come in.
I'm probably gonna get this running soon, I'll post pics when it's all together.
Know what? Go for the smallest lobsters they have. They will be cheaper than the big ones and then you can watch them grow.
To make an inexpensive cooler, keep an eye out for a compact refrigerator. Then just drill two holes in it and insert a long coil of tubing. It can double as a drink cooler.
I'm sure your uncle can help you get everything you need to set up the tank.
