Welcome to the forum. The Biocube is looking good so far. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful members here for sure. Keep an eye on the FOR SALE section as there are often great deals to be had.

I look forward to watching your tank progress as fish and coral are added.

Hi Albz!
Welcome to the Frag tank!
I hope that you enjoy being a member of our community here and I am sure you will make new friends.
Don't worry about asking lots of questions, its how we learn. Remember, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!

Welcome. As you surf around and read the treads, check the other members location. Then see if you can meet to discuss their tanks. Sometimes, over a coffee/beer, members will chip in advice or tidbit, that you wouldn't think to ask about. Wisdom can be handed down, if one chooses to listen to it. Enjoy this addiction we call reefing.

That's not a good sign, when staff hate their job. Probably means you wont get the best advice. There are tons more stores in the GTA than southern Ontario, so shop around. Not necessarily with your wallet. Find some close by reefers, and ask where they shop. There are also some guys with home based businesses on this Forum too. They can also help steer you in the right direction. Don't forget about @BIGSHOW in Hamilton. Golden horse shoe is your area, traffic sucks, but plenty of help for the asking. I haven't shopped in TO & area but I hear good things about a number of businesses there.

yea, i will hopefully soon find some around here reefers haha.. I just ordered a new tank! jbj 30g rimless tank!!

So you decided not to go with the LED Biocube 32 then I take it. I don't know much about the JBJ tanks are they AIO's as well?

Are the JBJ's All-In-One tanks? Do they have the built in filter on the back or do you use a sump? I'm assuming there's no light then. I'm really liking the AI Prime HD that I have and I'm thinking it would be perfect for a 30 gal. cube. I have the original AI Prime over my 29 Biocube and it's working great so far.

Good luck with the new tank and I look forward to pics!

yes its all in one! i saw some youtube videos and they look awesome!! and good reviews too! The biocube 32 lights are okay but i don't think are good enough for sps... so don't want to waste money..

 

[Albz]

I'm planning to build my own stand too..

Yeah ... the reviews that I saw on the new Biocube mentioned something about lower end SPS with the built in lights. You'd think that with all the high end lighting out there they'd give a couple options. Throw in a few more varying colours of LED and a bit more control over which LED's your using and charge a bit more for those who want it. That way if you have no intention of getting into SPS you can get the standard LEDs but if you want full spectrum LEDs then you can have it at a price.

Look forward to seeing the stand you build as well.
