LF: Biocube 29 or JBJ 24 or RSM 130

[r212019]

I'm looking to start a SW tank with anyone one of the three tanks listed above. I would prefer a tank with upgraded LED's and the tank needs to be complete with pump/filter, heater, LED's and a wavemaker. I'm new to SW tanks and I hoping to get something that will be easy to get up and running.

I'm hoping to get a tank and have the water cycling by the first week in July.

I'm not looking to spend more than $400. I went to J and L Aquatics and I can get a Biocube29 with stand for about $420 plus taxes.

Email me pictures, what you are selling, what upg's you have done to the tank, if any, and how much you are expecting.

$420 really? Good luck if you get with price brand new with the stand? Lol

J and L aquatics sells the Biocube 29 non HQI version for $309 plus taxes so Im not sure why u think this is so strange

They so sell the stand for $150 but the Tank is only $309 plus taxes

"Just saying" nothing strange of what i said. Your looking for something with led with wave maker under $400 like i said goodluck.

Well I'm open to lots of stuff. It's doesn't have to have all of these things. I'm new to SW tanks so I don't really know how much everything costs. I just don't want to spend much more than $400.

With the Biocube tanks, do I need a wave maker or is it built in?

I think what Jaybone is trying to say is that this is a very expensive hobby. Honestly you are not going to get much for $400. Also, in my opinion, the BioCube system is probably not the best place for a newbie to start. It's way too small and you're going to have one hell of a time keeping your water perameters in check. Plus... of all the biocube systems I've seen, people are always upgrading them because they are lacking in lighting and filtration.... and it doesn't have a 'wave maker' built in. I would suggest you start with a larger system (60-100gal) with a sump below, or you could have a Hang-on-the-back fuge and skimmer as HOB equipment has come a long way over the last decade. I would think, on the low end, it will cost you over $1000 to have a cheap setup. But cheap is gunna bite you in the butt down the road. I am building my first salt system after having LOTS of freshwater and I am budgeting $4000 on a 65gal tank.... and that is not including livestock.
