Default Oceanic Boi Cube

Hey I'm thinking of starting a nano reef
and I was wondering if the 29 gallon Oceanic Bio Cube
is a good tank to start with. =)

Yes the bio cubes are very good starting tanks because the come with everything needed to have a reef tank. IMO they look very cool too.

I have a 29g BioCube, its a nice tank for beginners...but as you start to know more and learn more...then you need more, such as skimmer, MH light.

For me, after several months, things just seems to be a little too crowded in my tank.
If you still have space in your place, imo better to get 50+ gallon tank

Ok I'm going to do more research on the different tanks and modifing them.
But this tank would be good for 5-6 small fish (no bigger than 3'') and some soft corals right?

Softies ,yes....5 or 6 fish might be pushing it. 3 or 4 would be a safer number.

I have one. It is a nice tank, I have had some issues with water flow in the back. You may want to research other system. The lack of Metal Halides and a having a weak pump are the cons of this system. Otherwise I think it is great.
