I'm thinking about starting a saltwater tank, and saw the Bio Cube and had an employee at a LFS tell me about it. It seems pretty Legit has anyone had any experience with these systems?
 
i have the 29 and it is the SH*%#! it's exspensive for a 29 gal tank but has a sump, power head, and pritein skimmer built right in. the "standard" lights that come with it are pretty much all you'll ever need for any but the most light needy of corals. i highly recomend them.
their only draw back is the filters are kinda hard to come by and need to be replaced regularly, however on size filter fits all of the bio cube sizes.
 
Biocube is good. Also look into the Red Sea Max, that's a good complete reef setup as well.
 
The good LFS near me has the 34 gallon (I believe) Red Sea setup. Looks like it's got all you need; great filtration, decent set of lights, just a bit pricey.

It's a bit more expensive, but it does have better lighting.
 
what do the red seas have?

BTW biocubes have 10000k and actinic pc's, not sure of the wattage tho.

Thanks I couldn't remember what the other setup was called that the LFS employee showed me. he said that was $700 with the stand. Luckilly I have a %25 off coupon to use:)
 
If I were to put say either a Flame Dwarf Angel or Coral Beauty (whichever one will work out better with my other tankmates/setup), Royal Gramma Basslet, a Firefish, Longnose Hawkfish, Spotted or Pajama Cardinalfish, and a Catalina Goby. With an Arrow Crab, Debelius Reef Lobster, I would love a starfish (any suggestions?), and a peppermint shrimp. How would this setup be compatibility wise? I'm either going to get the red sea max, or Oceanic 29 Bio Cubes. Would I have to worry about aggression, or Bio-load issues? Thanks for any help you give because it's greatly needed
