Re: Biocube?
What size are you looking at and how much are you willing to spend? Biocubes are pricey!
I like the 29 gal biocube - not quite small but not large either. Easy to maintain and you have more fish options open to you with this size than one of the smaller or nano sizes. But obviously the bigger it is, the more expensive the tank is, if money is limited.

Re: Biocube?
Cool, I'll have to look up the prices and think about it. What do you think I could put in a 29?
Are Biocubes quiet? They have built in filters I think?

Re: Biocube?
Yes, they come with a filter and everything and are very quiet. The pump might make a little noise but certainly isn't loud.

Re: Biocube?
If you're using it for saltwater you'd probably need to buy a skimmer and powerheads. It doesn't come with those. It doesn't come with a heater either but the lights would likely keep it warm enough.

Re: Biocube?
Great
I'll see what other kind of equipment might be necessary then, I'm a little confused about it because I don't know if like all protein skimmers would work in a Biocube what with the special size of it etc. Or if some things would work but not look pleasing to the eye with bulky equipment in plain view...
Now for what I could possibly stock a 29 Biocube with! What about a flame angelfish?

Re: Biocube?
I'm afraid a flame would be too large and active for a 29 gal biocube.

Yeah, six line wrasses do have a tendency for terrorizing their tankmates...
It's a shame your favorite fish so far wouldn't be ideal for this set up. Have you considered dwarf angels? They will nip at corals though if you plan on having them. I don't remember if you've said if the fish need to be reef safe. Also, peppermint shrimp are awesome if you're into inverts/want a cleaning crew.
