I'm not sure if you can simply call one the best, but I have a 12 gallon Nano Cube deluxe which I'm very pleased with. All the new models seem to have their pro's and con's, so I think it's more or a matter or personal preference. Figure out what features you want the most, then compare the tanks, that is my recommendation. Also as the Nano-cube, Aquapod and the Bio Cube can vary greatly in price, so that also must be taken into account.

by the way, it's just a matter of preference. i liked the design of the biocube14, also has a good stand-- havent set it up yet since i have two other tanks and want to break down 1 before i setup the 14. all of them will have some issues with modifying.. the lights, pumps, something.
you wont actually have 12 or 14 gallons in the display tank since a couple or so gallons will be in the back compartment, so that's also something you might want to think about
id go with biocube 29

I always thought this was the purpose of a forum, to asks questions and learn. So maybe edavis wasted a little board space, didn't you with your silly little post. Maybe he doesn't know how to search for those other posts or whatever. You had an opportunity to help someone out and you chose to slam him instead.

I am new and i have been doing tons of research i like the biocube(preferably 29 gallon) because the nano cube and aquapod have been known for heating issues. IMO id say from what i have found there are few cases of overheating biocubes.

IMO, I like the Biocube, because its integrated wet/dry filter is three different chambers, whereas the aquapod only had two (I think)? Also, I liked the fact that the lid was not permanently attached which allowed for modifications and the ability to add on filtration equipment. I also liked the fact that the BIOCube left more room above the integrated filter (Tip: a 9 watt Coralife UV Sterilizer fits on top of the integrated filter without any modifications to the lid!) I've heard that the glass on the BioCube was thicker, may or may not be true.
Although the RSM is clearly the best, its also clearly the most expensive @$600+ I'd rather buy the BC29 and choose my own skimmer. Also, with the BC29 w/HOB skimmer, you still have a refugium. I'd prefer an in tank refugium vs. HOB because I think a refugium should get greater flow than HOB can provide. Plus, the RSM lighting is good, but since its hood is attached, its harder to upgrade to better lighting. I would pick a BC29, $150 *rare gem stone* skimmer (people may or may not get my code speak, just PM if ??), $200 pendant/clamp on Viper MH lighting for a total of $600. A RSM costs $750.....
Anyway, I ended up buying the BC29 gal. based on the aforementioned logic. But, if you don't plan on upgrading filter/lighting on the tank, RSM is the best, most expensive, stock tank.
