I'm currently running all the sizes of the oceanic biocubes (8, 14, 29 gallon) and have been generally quite happy with them. The fans can get a little noisy but they can be replaced easily and only the 8 and 14 have a hinged hood. I've also had a 12 gallon aquapod but the opening in the hood was quite small and not as user friendly as the biocubes. Overall the tank seemed more flimsy than the biocubes. The viewing area of the tank was better (more rectangular) than the 14 biocube, however. With regards to the Red Sea Max's I haven't tried any since in general, the price seems to be quite a bit higher than the biocubes. Hope this helps.

the red sea max series of aquariums is designed 100% for salt water set ups as it has a built in auto top off system, i really wouldent waste the money to make it a freshwater, ud be better off with a biocube also a saltwater tank (usually) the best "bang for your buck" is going to be spending $30 on a standard 30-40g tank and buying a filter and heater,

I agree with you, but in this case the tank wasnt for me. It was for someone else that wanted to downsize big time. The good thing is that if they decide to sell, I would definately turn it back to salt.
