please help picking a tank
I'm looking to get a tank. i would like to get a bio cube as i like the tank and used to have one, sadly had to sell it because i was in college and needed money badly. but anyways it was a stock 29 gallon, had some simple corals and some fish
but now its a toss up between 14 gallon bio cube or 29 gallon biocube. I've been looking at nano customs and cannot decide what to get. i think i might want a modded tank so i can have some more variety of corals. what do you guys recommend?
if you don't think i should get a biocube what should i get? as i wold really like a bio cube tho.
Also if i do get a bio cube what should i do with the middle chamber? I've seen alot of people do alot of different things? whats works best all i know is bio balls can cause problems.
thank you all

My advice would be don't settle for small unless you want small. You run out of room quick and just end up upgrading which costs a lot of money. If you can afford the 29, go 29. Get the one with the right lights too. If you want sps, get the metal halide bio cube.
