So is the equipment that comes with the Solanas tank a lot better then what comes with the biocubes. I'm already addicted to fishkeeping in general so I know once I get into saltwater it will become even worse so I would like to have everything needed with one buy. Meaning I don't want to get the biocube and then turn around and have to buy better lighting and what ever else because what it came with isn't good enough for what I want. So what I'm saying is with the Solanas will the equipment it comes with be good enough for just about anything I wanted or would I still have to upgrade.

u dont need that particular light if u dont want corals :p the MH is really a coral only light LOL
There is a huge price difference between the Solana and the biocube. I do want to have coral but I don't really want to pay 800 for it. When I can pay 300. Is the light on the biocube able to be upgraded and if so how much would that cost and would it be necessary to have coral.

i do believe the one tank will handle corals, the biocube that is, but, u may have to upgrade the lights just a lil bit, from what ive seen an read, honestly, you can do corals with T5HO's, and i believe it wont cost much to upgrade the 29g biocube to that
