Mini aquariums from marineland
Marineland aquariums
Friend of mine wants to setup a mini SW setup and found these aquariums at one of our LFS http://www.marineland.com/Products/f...rium-kits.aspx Anybody have and experience with these models and if so how do you find maintaining these systems and what extras do you have in the tank?

Looks like a horrible starter tank. It's so small, maintaining perimeters will be very difficult

That is something along the lines of what I was thinking it would be a nightmare for him to maintain.

6 gallon nanocube would be ideal if he wants a nano reef tank in that size

None of those would really be suitable for a reef tank, for starters they're plastic (ewwwwwww) that filter is also not set up for sw and maintaining antiquate filtration in those cheap little guys is a nightmare. I wouldn't even put guppies in one.
A small biocube, or heck a 10 gallon standard would be a much much better choice. I've seen fluval edge's done up as reefs if you're REALLY on the ball but they SHOULD be de/topped first. A good tank isn't cheap and a cheap tank isn't good.

Alternatively, it would probably make a killer tube anemone display tank
