Considering doing a biocube

i would say its the best way to start just cause everything that you need to start off is built in. the only thing that you might have to add would be a heater and if you want to get crazy with it a skimmer to lol

 

I just got done "pimpin' out" my 29 gallon biocube. They are great little tanks and I highly recommend one as a beginner tank. The only real problem i see with them is being they are so small you can get a lot of temp swings if not running a chiller.

 

I have owned 2 different nanos just no biocube but I will say go for it. They are fun and can end up costing a lot like a bigger setup. The options are unlimited. Check out nanoreef.com for a lot of information and upgrade ideas.

As for what Waverz said....look into a controller and this will help your temps. I use a small computer fan to control temps and only have a swing of .4 degrees.

 

biocubes are amazing... i have three going now...

 

I've heard the Sapphire skimmers are much better. Upgrading the lights and fan will depend on what you want to keep in there. Most softies will do fine with PC lights, however, even softies will do better with upgraded lights. Upgraded lights will also allow you to keep a wider range of corals.  Check out nanotuners.com for upgrade options.
