Which Cube is better?

[iplaydafoozball]

Aside from the size (duh) which Cube reef system is better? the Nano Cube Deluxe 24 gallon system or the BioCube 29 gallon system? I've never seen a comparison of the two side-by-side, probably because of the size difference. Thanks.

Well from what the lady at Capitol Aquarium said that the BioCube 29 is great, she even shopwed sme of the fish in the store that are in the tank. But from experience Icant tell you.

From what Ive seen both are decent. We sell the bio cubes here and they seem reasonable for a small system, low stocking (not what it shows on the box, that picture is cropped and edited. most fish minus the tang would be ok in there not all at the same time tho) and a selection of a handful of easy corals using the pc unit if you chose, it comes with.

lol yea, i always laugh at the graphics on the boxes, they had like 30 neon tetras in the 8 gallon cube. i've already talked with a reef shop owner and i'd probably get a clown or two and a goby or blenny. maybe a seahorse after the thing gets established, the shop just got some in when i was there. coral is definately going in to it, but whats the pc unit you mentioned? but there are no mechanical differences to either Bio Cube or Nano Cube? like same setup basically?

I heard that Seahorses are preferred for Species only Tanks because they are tough to feed!

i've heard that too but the shop owner said that he trained his last batch of seahorses to eat mysis so that they would actually last. and it worked. this shop is really good for reefs. they know their stuff.

even if the seahorses will eat mysis (wich is AWESOME) they are too slow to get to the food before the other fish get it.

 

[iplaydafoozball]

yea, good point.....eh, i don't have to worry about it tho, first step is deciding which tank to get!

not too mention different water movement needs for seahorses, it is just not a good idea to mix them.
