Thanks! It's just a tiny 15gal cube!

The cubes are nice, but if you do buy one i would highly recommend doing your research on them. They ARE NOT all created equally.
Personally, I'm a fan of the sump. Just easier to maintain. Especially for a reef.
Did i mention, do it! If you do, you're required to get a two spot goby if you have substrate. They're funny little fish.
I think a few of you had said "do it!" so I think I am going to do it. Like Matt said I must have had my mind mostly made up. I should have known you guys would convince me the rest of the way pretty quickly.
I do need to really research the cubes. I want to upgrade the lighting but I like how they have the guts tucked back behind the tank. I think you can buy just the tank. It is a waste to buy the kit and then take the light off when that is a big part of the price. I think there is a youtube guy that modified his. I have my research cut out for me. This is fun stuff though. It keeps life fun.
I will check out the goby. Is it considered a beginner fish? I really don't want to start killing things right off the bat! I need to start with the hardy guys.
Uh oh...started looking at the different ones and of course my favorite is the most expensive one...it comes with the cabinet though and I would not need to upgrade (I don't think) Like the rimless. Sump in the back. Anything out there like this one at a more reasonable cost? This is craziness.

This one is a bit better priced but not sure about the lighting...

Jenene, I am in the process of combining two 29 Gal biocubes and one 14 Gal biocube into a 75 Gal reef. If you are interested we can work something out while you are in Ct for Al's NEDA party. All have been retrofitted with Current USA Orbit LEDs, Tunze protein skimmers, and also have a canister filter plumbed into the back "wet dry" portion of the tank for extra filtration. Sorry but the fish and coral are moving over into the 75 Gal. Let me know, I will be at the party and live about an hour from Al by the casinos.
I would do it! I have considered it many times. I decided that would best wait until retirement!
Yes! I am interested! I figured there would be some people I could chat with about setting one up at least. I am at work but when I get home I will check out your pics. That would be amazing if we can work something out. The lighting you chose is exactly what I would be looking at as well. Somethings are just meant to be. Will write back later today. Thanks so much.
Here is my buddy's innovative marine system we built.

Yom- Those are really beautiful tanks! You must have them all over your house! 3! I was thinking of going rimless but I am still doing some research. Which is the 14 Gallon? I would be getting something more like the 29's. The stock is gorgeous but a lot of the fun is picking things out as I am sure you know. I will PM you with some questions. Thanks!
