You might also want to look at the Red Sea Max if you have the $$$.
Stay away from oceanic they have a design problem with the filtration that will drive you crazy! you have to keep your tank overfilled in order to keep from spewing bubbles. There are a lot of people having this problem.......
The red sea is very cool and the new 28 gal nano cube coming out looks awesome...
Thanks Kevin

You might want to consider the JBJ 24...if you like the all in one systems. We just switched out of a 14 gallon Oceanic to a 24 Nano Cube DX. Main reason why we went with the Nano Cube 24 was because of the new HQI canopy upgrade they have. 150Watts of Metal Halide just with a couple of clicks. I have to admit...I do like this tank slightly more then the BC.
In my opion the water level issue with Oceanic is not that bad...you just have to make sure your tank to leveled...and that you always have it full...or else you will have bubbles for days. Down side is that fish can jump into the filter side...which does suck. The Nano Cube does seem like the filtration system is better designed. And the customer service is a lot better. When our Oceanic Ballast went bad...3 months ago...several emails and phone calls and still no one has fixed the issue. To me that is just un call for. JBJ seems like they are quick to help us out. And to me that is a big plus.

Danmc00, I honestly say that the answer you are searching for really is dependant on what you intend on setting up your Aquarium to house. Are you solely going Fish Only with Live Rock or are you attempting to create a Nano Reef Aquarium housing Soft Corals or are you going to push the envelope such as myself and go SPS or LPS Nano Reef Aquarium? Personally I choose the 28 gallon Nano Cube HQI because of the stock Metal Halide Lighting, exposed Rear Chamber for easy addition of equipment or even conversion of one of the Baffles into a Refugium and that it came with two Pumps with a Wavemaker for constant or variable flow which was a plus for me since I wanted to keep SPS and LPS Corals. However, I would have loved to have the extra 6 gallon of Water volume and space that the Red Sea Max offers. So take that into consideration when choosing. All the models have their benefits and drawbacks so it difficult to say which one is better then the other and much easier to conclude which one fits the setup that you are attempting to achieve.
Yeah, I've looked at the Sunpod. I actually won a Current Outer Orbit pendant at midwest fragfest a few weeks ago. I set it up over the tank, but the wife doesn't care for the look. I'm not sure if it's the open-top, or the big black pendant hanging from the ceiling that she doesn't care for.reefman23 said:
I'm looking into the nanocustoms kit, but it seems awfully expensive, especially since the stock hood already comes with everything PC/moon -light wise.. and I have this pendant I could rip the sockets out of.. if I can only find a reflector...
