I'm actually fairly happy with out 8 gal biocube even though I just use it as a quarantine/frag tank now that we have the bigger ones. I don't find heat or evaporation to be an issue, but it's not in a hot room (only about 75) so I think that helps.
We did have one ballast go on us a couple months after buying it and we contacted the company and they sent a replacement no problems. When it was set up as a nano reef everything in it was really happy and growing well.The filter cartridge is a little sticky to get out but that's probably "user error" rather than a fault I would recommend them, and I like that they're glass rather than acryllic...I'm hard on the algae and acryllic wouldn't work for me. |

Hey gbeef, did you find anything yet?
user 'matix' has a pretty sweet deal on here currently.. i'm sure you've seen it already though. I have had my tank setup for about 8 days now... and it sure feels good to be back!

Im still looking, got the freaking bug again i walked into golds and thats end of story.... It kinda sucks! i sold my 7 gal a couple years ago i should've kept it. I want a Biocube because i want a nice looking tank with no wires and light hanging off it.
I saw matirx's tank i would be all over it except theres no lid I want something with a lid so i dont have to auto top off (cuz i have had mishape before) Either or i may break down and buy new but i want to avoid it if possible. Its kinda crazy i had people offer a nano cube for like 800.00 for a cube!... with no chiller running PC and not the greatest livestock. Im just going to wait till a decent deal comes along. How about yourself i see you found somthing? |

The rsm is the one to get IMHO. Better lighting options. Skimmer. Timer. One plug into the wall. Looks good.
