Would you get it?

[monsinour]

If you had the opportunity to get a new in the box biocube 14 gallon for $189.99 with 10% off and no shipping, would you do it?
edit: actually, I can find it cheaper online. So now the other question becomes
Oceanic Bio Cube 14 Gallon
OR
JBJ Nano 12 Gallon

As your wife, you can guess what I voted.

It would make a perfect Valentines Day gift...

The biocube 14 went on clearance at my work.

IMO....I would wait until you can get a bigger tank.....why have a bunch of little ones

 

[gemmy]

Nanos make great grow out tanks for large tanks!

that would require a bigger house. I dont want to wait years before I get a new tank.

OH....well I had no idea how long it would be before you would get a bigger house.....I know you have mentioned it in previous posts, so I thought maybe it was not that far off

I vote the 14g biocube but I love the simplicity of what JBJ makes.
Look into "CAD lighting and aquariums".
They have some awesome looking tanks

 

[monsinour]

they have some cool tanks. Its too bad you cant order the 12g without the lights.

I am sure you could work something out, maybe even e'sbay

 

[flower]

LOL...I voted no because your wife said no. IMHO...it is to small, I wouldn't go any smaller than 30g. The smaller the tank the quicker things can go bad. I am afraid of tiny saltwater tanks.

I agree w/ flower here but I keep a pico, yes it's a pain but I love this tank.
The water change is 1 cup a week.
No huge incidences so far, had cyano, got a bigger powerhead, havent seen it sense.
I currently have a sixline wrasse in there and a cleaner shrimp, both are happy, and
the sixline is going into the 95g sometime today or tomorrow.

 

[monsinour]

the plan for the small tank is a zoa garden with some kind of small fish and some sexy shrimp. Wife likes the shrimp and I dont think we would see them in the bigger tank.

 

[1snapple]

I have a great idea, maybe 6g JBJ?
It's twice the size of a pico, you can have 3 small fish, and 2 sexy shrimp.
Plenty of room for zoas.

 

[monsinour]

Its supposed to be a fluval chi for the zoa garden. This other tank is for the missus and her catalina gobies. I have no clue as to what else to put into that tank though.

I LOVE my 14G BioCube. IMO, it's a great little tank.

Hmmm....that sounds like a good idea. Maybe seahorses. I have to ponder this now.

I recommend the side by side (thumbs up smiley inserted here)
