I'm currently running all the sizes of the oceanic biocubes (8, 14, 29 gallon) and have been generally quite happy with them. The fans can get a little noisy but they can be replaced easily and only the 8 and 14 have a hinged hood. I've also had a 12 gallon aquapod but the opening in the hood was quite small and not as user friendly as the biocubes. Overall the tank seemed more flimsy than the biocubes. The viewing area of the tank was better (more rectangular) than the 14 biocube, however. With regards to the Red Sea Max's I haven't tried any since in general, the price seems to be quite a bit higher than the biocubes. Hope this helps.
