Which aquarium system is better?

Dubbs · 06/14/2011, 11:20 PM

So I've been doing some researched today, and found a couple of all-in-one systems I liked.

Oceanic 29 biocube
And Redsea Max 130D

I'm leaning more towards the Redsea since it has better equipment to handle the reef setup. Larger filter space and better lighting.

I live in a apartment, so the all-in-one systems work best for me.

What do you plan on keeping in your tank? If you determine what kind of livestock you want that may help you decide on the tank that is best for you.

Seems that now most people have Biocubes and then later down the road they upgrade the lighting.

U can always upgrade the lighting on either system if it was me I would go with the red sea Max

I have looked at all the AIO systems in the past. I was doing research to build my own AIO. I am on my 4th one. lol I would buy the Red Sea. It sees to have the largest water volume and the filtration seemed better IMO. I dont know how the customer service is on any of these AIO. You may want to do some research on that part. I think it would be good to google reviews on all of the systems to get a better idea of what some people have found out , good and bad.

I purchased the biocube 29 hqi at the end of last year. I am very pleased with it so far. If I was to do it all over again I probably would not get an aio unit.
