Question BioCube?

Looking at starting up a quick tank for friend without spending arm and a leg saw the biocube self contained tanks and was wonding if anyone uses it and if it's worth the money to get one for a salt. Any comments would be usefull thanks!

I have 3 14g biocubes....for the simplicity I like them...I find them easy to care for and work well for salt...I would like to upgrade one to a 29g but not sure that I will.....I don't like the fact that the top of the water always has a film on it, but other than that I don't really have a complaint...I also like the fact that you can do some mods that are simple and make a big difference.

yah I forgot about the ballasts...I've had to replace 2 ballasts....and the bulbs burned out on one of the cubes REALLY fast....but both ballasts were replaced quickly, and bulbs are easy...
