ok so i have a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium set up with 1 Jack Dempsey (which is REALLY pretty) and a few rainbow sharks ect, but im trying to decide whether or not to take it down and replace it with a 29 Gallon Biocube that i want to use for Saltwater, cant have both due to space issues but if you could choose one or the other, which would you guys want and why?
freshwater or saltwater?

Keep what you have and improve on it. Not easy to maintain a perfect salt water tank. Fishes always die after a few months. I believe salt water fishes need natural sea to keep them for long life.
I'd go salt if i had the money to do it properly and with coral. If it was going to be FOWLR I'd stay fresh.
biocubes are WAY overpriced and i dont even think they look good. if you are going to spend a fortune on a saltwater aquarium (and the time) i would get a huge reef tank. having a small salt tank is more difficult because the conditions fluncuate more easily. you could get africans, they have almost as bright colors as marines but nothing beats a good reef tank.
