    yea if i was building a 180 or 200 reef it would be different,but on the scale i'm working,there great,but they dont carry alot of coral and what they do carry is usually large,high light,and expensive.I only have pc lighting,so i like to keep easy softies and lower light corals,but hard to find in these parts.We have a coral farm about 1 1/2 hours away,but don't want to drive that far without at least $100 or more to spend.But right now,with the baby on the way,that's not happening soon!!!! :)

    Agreed. 29 is a good size. I currently have the Biocube 29 and love it. Small but yet big enough for a variety.

    Love the tank.
    I have to say, i just started a 29 reef and am so enjoying the smaller size.
    I originally planned on my 210 being a reef but never had luck keeping anything alive for a long period of time for some reason.Plus it's such a b*tch to get in there to set the corals up where i wanted them.
    With the 29 there's no stretching to get to the bottom, 3rd degree burns from the MH's and it's such a joy to redo the rocks when adding new stuff.
    Size really does matter! I'm officially addicted!
