Was interested in the oceanic bio cube 29 gallon ,was wondering any pro?s or cons of anyone that has it.Are you happy with it ,or if u had to do it again would u just buy a tank and build it your self with your own stuff?

thank you,

loved the 33 cube so much.. i bought two of them. cherry wood is better than the maple. just my opinon.

just go bigger, i had this tank and it made alot of noise with the built in sump in the back, or get something you can have a sump underneath your stand. plus the curves on the tank distorted the view.

I have a 29 gallon biocube and I love it. Its been up and running now for over a year. Water levels are always great. I had one problem back in Aug where I lost the whole tank but it was my fault. My ammonia spiked. I would tell you if you like the tank go for it. If I was to buy all over again I would buy it again. But now that I know about the red sea I would 100% go with that one now. Good luck

I've had it up and running since like June and love it...takes a little "modding" but that is well documented across some of the other forums across the interwebs.

or save money and buy a used one on here or the aquapod or the nano cube all basically the same

Mine's been running since Sept. 2008, so far so good. Outside of the tank and stand, there's nothing left that's considered factory. All the false floors are removed, bioballs never made it in the chamber. Even the hood has been gutted for LED retrofit. Really depends on budget... Sapphire Aquatics and StevieT makes some really nice BC/Nano gear.

If I had to do it over again, knowing what I know today, I would go for a Solana/RSM or Cadlight 39g.

I have a 29 biocube for 2 years and have been quite pleased. Definitely needed some mods to get where I want. If you fill the water level all the way up to the overflow between section 1 and 2, it's quite quiet. It very easy to get up and running. Although next time around personally I would buy a standard tank and build with the components I want. One annoy aspect, the rounded corners are a pain to clean.
