    RSM 130D.. great skimmer from what I've heard.. you can add a fuge as it comes with a overflow attachment for an external chiller. Lights are T5s..

    The only one I can think of stock with MH would be JBJ nanocube 28 or the Solana 34.

    C'mon Mission, you've been around long enough to know to stay away from the box kits ;) I had a Bio-Cube for a short time around Christmas, and there's a reason I never kept it for myself ;) IMHO it needed a minimum of another $400 to get a reef system in it I would be happy with.
    If it were me, I would just get a regular tank and build from there. If you go with one of the (fill in the blank) - cubes, the shell of the tank is all your going to end up with at the end anyways. Get everything YOU want from the beginning the first time ;)

    I'm looking for a little more simplicity. Not in the "building" mood on this one. Add water and go.........

    the JBJ 28HQI is a pretty sweet setup, has a skimmer and 150mh out of the box, it's pretty much add sand/LR/water and go

    The JBJ does get the water warm though. It will get into the 84ºF easily, if you aren't careful.
