That's not so bad ... a LFS near me was asking 399.
It's a nice looking tank, I really like the display dimensions.
It could still use better flow however.

I saw site selling for 275. Its nice to have that extra 5 gallons over the 24 nano but I expect that the biocube will need to be modded to kick it up a notch like the nano and aquapod. You would want to put a stronger pump in, off the wet dry and look to create a macro fuge. I just want to see one just to see if the quality is better than the two main brands and if the filter setup is an improvement in any way.
It seems like if the manufacturers were paying attention to all the mods that people make with nano and aquapod, they would come out with a far better filtration system with nice big fuge etc. How much would it cost the companies to also kick up the pump size as well to increase flow? Very little. Issue: biotope at its three sizes gives us a little more gallonage with good pc lighting.Is the filtration system any better than Nano or Aquapod?

I too was able to see a 29 gallon Oceanic just out of the box. It seems to be quite a step up from the Aqua Pod...and I love mine.
Any way, instead of it being acrylic it is regular glass. I also read the warranty. It comes with a 1 year against all defects and 2 year against leakage or cracks. Now I wish I had waited to purchase the Oceanic. Maybe I can talk me husband into a fifth tank...lol

In what way is it a "step up" other than extra gallonage? Nano and Aquapod are both glass. Warranties are nice but how does the standard filtration compare with Nano and Aquapod? That is the issue. There is also the Finnex M-tank line which is also nice and has a built in skimmer in the filtration area.
noschmo...I believe the Aquapod is acrylic...at least mine does not feel like glass. As far as filtration, I'm sure there is always room for mods. I'm talking over all construction. I was only able to check it out for a few minutes. I will try to look at it more closely when I go into work today.

Unless they've discovered some inexpensive method to seamlessly bond glass with acrylic, the Aquapod is glass. From Current's website,
"The modern style compliments and decor and features seamless front rounded glass corners for optimum viewing."

..the aquapods are glass. I agree about adding more flow. With each of the "all in ones" flow is probably the thing that could be improved across the board.
