Looking to buy a 12 or 14 gallon nano tank. Any suggestions on a make?? JBJ, Oceanic Bio cube, or a Cube Master. It will be used as a reef tank.

I think the cubemaster is the cheapest and a piece o crap.
I'd go with a JBJ, Dr. Foster and Smith usually has a package, tank and stand for $180.

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing about the Cube Master. Do you no anything about the Bio Cube?

I have a friend who has the 29 gallon and loves it. It's basically the same, you get 2 more gallons to play with and the chambers are maybe setup differently but it's the same concept. What kind of questions do you have about it?

Just trying to decide what tank to buy. New to this and want to start out small and inexpensive.
I have only Nano-Cube 6g, my impressions:
- very good-looking and pleasant, not equipment is seen;
- fans and pump will hum with time,
- when cleaning chambers, you have to lift lid up - light will not lit the tank and chambers. Eventually removed the lid (as it's done with MH Viper lamp), much lighter and more convenient.
- non-photosynthetic corals are better to be kept in different tanks, allowing to have a separate flow and filtration.
In any other way - love it.
