    Does anyone have a suggestion for a 20 -30 gallon setup that is all inclusive (similiar to a biocube)? I want to keep a Mantis and do not want to worry about glass breakage that leads to divorce :). I also want to make sure the Mantis has plenty of room. I like the all-in-one solution especially based upon the location in my house.

    Thanks,
    Jay

    What is your budget?
    You can go with a glass tank, as long as you put sheets of acrylic around the inside of the tank as well.

    No too much of a budget issue but I do have a size issue. I need it to fit within: 36Lx12Dx16H. I can go 4" deeper if the tank has a built in filter. I am leaving the 4" for an Emperor 280 if not. Unfortunately this goes in my office and I only have one place it can go.

    Clear-for-Life make all in one aquariums that are pretty nice. I have a 55G myself. To be honest though, if I could do it over again, I wouldn't go with an all in one type tank, since I bought it before I understood the full benefit of running a sump/refugium.
    I would suggest against an Emperor filter as well, they really have no benefit in a marine system.
