14 gal biocube
Does anyone know how well these setups run? I just got the opportunity to buy one with the tank, standm 30lbs of live rock 48 watts of pc lights 3 led moonlights, sand, 3 or 4 nice big corals, heater, spare powerhead, 2 ocellaris clowns and a yellow watchmen goby
He wants 400 for it all and it seems like a really good price to me I just wanted to know if anyone has had any problems with these tanks |

400 sounds high to me i would 300 tops for a used setup like that.

The tank and lights are about $200 new. The livestock may or may not be worth another $200. I wouldn't buy it for that price, but it depends on what you want to keep in it. If the current livestock are exactly what you're looking for then maybe it's worth it. Maybe...

My wife's tank is a 14BC. Has worked great except the fan for the lights isn't very reliable, but the lights have never quit.
Also not a lot of room in the back for filtration stuff, but overall we're happy with it ('cept we wish we'd have gotten the bigger one).

I have a 29g biocube and love it! That being said, I think $400 seems really steep for a 14g even with the equipment and livestock included.

Yea there's a 25 gallon rimless cube tank, stand and led light set up at my work for 180 but I don't no a darn thing about leds, it's only 300 lumens which sou ds low to me but like I said I havens clue. And I really like it's looks and the price is better but should I just get different lights or is that led set up ok?
