What do you think of the Oceanic 30 g Cube? Thumbs Up or Down?

[fantastic4]

Just looking for opinions on the Oceanic 30 Gallon Cube, (something about the cube look that I just love)

Thanks,

[fantastic4]

Thank you

Petco has them on sale for $30 @ $1 a gallon on glass tanks!

Sale is this week only

 

[purebullet417]

i think its only on aga tanks otherwise i would have to go buy one lol

 

[mister crabs]

it is only aga tanks sizes 20-55. I wanted the 75 and they told me it wasnt included. No oceanics or bowfronts either

 

[Taikimoto]

All glass = oceanic

 

[bj32482]

anyone have the dimensions of the 30g cube?

 

[mister crabs]

good luck getting the tards at petco to believe tha aga and oceanic are the same....i argued with them for half an hour

 

[fantastic4]

mister crabs, it's true. I know, I know it sounds to good to be true. Have the sales clerk scan the cube, it will come up at $1 a gallon!!!

I have done it already in two stores, just ask them to confirm it by scanning the UPC.

 

[mister crabs]

how bout 54 corner bowfront? someone said it was included at thier petco? and what about the 40 stretch hex?

Take a look at this thread

YES, I saw the triangle corner tanks on sale for $1 gallon as well. Try Santa Clarita and Westwood. Westwood has a ton of corners right now.

It seems as if managers are saying "No", but after price checking the UPC, it scans at $1 gallon!

I have confirmed this myself. I turned away from a 40 gallon $250 stretched hex and 40 gallon $250 hex as I like the cubes.

Santa Clarita has a Oceanic Stretched Hex marked as $40 down from $250 everyday price as of last night.

Good Luck all!

(Note: Boxed tanks, any bowfront and tanks above 55 gallon are not included. If you scan a cube in at regular price, make sure they scan adjacent Oceanics, they will come up with the sales price, just need to find them)

I just picked up an Oceanic 33g cube for $33 with glass top and light, didnt even know they made a 33 cube. Regular $150, not to bad a deal.

Can the oceanic cubes sold at petco be drilled? either on the back or the bottom.

Hell, for $30, I'll buy one.

 

[mister crabs]

back and sides can.....bottom is tempered

 

[Gundo5000]

So I read the other thread posted by fantastic4. Is this sale only for Cali area petco's. I'll check mine tomorro but I was just wondering if anyone knows.

 

[mister crabs]

chain wide sale...its their semi annual aquatic sale

 

[fantastic4]

algundo, I have heard from Reefcentral posts that they are picking them up through out all Petco's. Florida, CA, etc.

The cubes will surely be gone before the end of the week. The rumor is Petco's will be getting new shipments in this week during the sale.

Note:
You may have to ask the clerk to use a hand scanner on the display tank, as most managers think the sale is only for the "All-Glass" brand tanks. The 33 g cubes are coming up time and time again as $33. You pay tax on the normal price. If you pick up an Oceanic at this price how can you go wrong? Hex, Reg, Cube, all good.

I finaly tracked down a cube!

me = happy

Petco = my new friend

Hit em early tomorrow!

just set mine up heres come pics.

Yes. Oceanic 30, 33, 37 Cubes Rule! I have the 37 and love it. It is an awesome tank for a single metal halide bulb solution using an HQI DE bulb.

i dont know about your petcos but ours in redding ca. let their employees buy tanks before the store even opened. one guy bought all four oceanic cubes. other employees bought pretty much everything else worth getting. my brother went there the first day of the sale and the only tanks left were 20 and 29gals. talk about screwed up whats the point of the sale if they sell all the tanks to the employees first.
