Default Want advice on turn-key marine set-up
Hi - I had a 34g in college and i wanted to get back into the hobby - pretty much fish only to start...I saw some bio-cubes and like the all inclusive simplicity but sort of disliked the ugly design. Any otehr manufacturers of turn key set ups - ideally a 40 g or less corner tank...acrylic probably. I admit I am a newbie and I'm sorry if this info is already posted but I just haven't found it yet. Maybe a URL for the holy grail of fish tank suppliers?

Anyway, thanks in advance...

Reeve

I dont think theres a turn key marine tank that lets you tank care of the fish/corals properly with out modding the tank. Whats so turn the key about it after that? I got a biocube 29...real crappy filtration design

I've always been impressed with the m-tank package:

I'll sell you a 180 and throw in a 30 gallon QT tank! All for about what you'd have in a new 40 gallon...
