Stocking Options For 29gal Biocube

[GotamaHuy]

What nano tank would you guys recommend. Reason why I wanted a biocube was because every lfs has them so I thought it was the best. Thanks

and seffi I have been reading about your tank and siblings and wow lots of info and inspiration. I am on the 7th page. Just curious on what book did bigc recommend didn't catch that. And keep up the good work.

There are quiet a few options a lot of people here use the Orca TL550 I went with this tank as its the larger of all in one nanos and gives you more stocking options I would have look on Ebay see if you can find yourself a bargain I got mine with LR + lots of extras for £180. If you do get a second hand tank with LR in transporting can be a pain but is very doable I got all mine in a clio.

Just curious, I am 21 years old and will be living with parents for another 3-4 years, so i refrain from getting a aquarium until I am settled in a new home? Or can I just love my tank fairly easy without problems transporting the goods.

Yip they are ok to move with care and planning

ps there are several really good plug and play nanos out there at the moment - have a look on ebay as suggested, there are some real bargains on there - zipzap told me there was a orca 550 on there the other day that didn't get sold, it was 99p, she forgot about it so didn't bid, but boy what a steal

So I been looking and seems to me that the JBJ 28gal HQI is better than the tl550. I think i might so with that one. I also see the cf-quad from jbj is that even better than the hqi?

I've decided to get a pair of clowns, firefish, goby/pistol shrimp pair, and two other fish no idea yet. Leaning towards royal gamma and blenny.

You need to be careful with the HQI as it has a MH light in the hood which can cause to much heat great if you are looking into SPS.

Also the JBJ 28gal HQI is smaller than the TL550 I think 6 fish will be too many I have 6 in my TL550 and am pushing my luck one is to be moved into my project tank but they are all young at the moment so not an issue yet.

Any clue on how i can get a tl-550 in the UNited States?
