I've had a 14g biocube set up for about 2 yrs now and I have no complaints at all. The only small detail that you should not overlook is that you won't be able to grow any sps in the tank. Lps does OK, and leathers and all soft corals that are meant for pc lighting are good. My tank has not had any weird things happen to it at all. Pretty much maintenance free. You have to buy a heater and maybe a small powerhead for flow in the 29g model but for the most part theyr're pretty reliable.

My Wifes 14G Biocube is garbage
Heat is an issue Ballast went within the first month. Customer service from Oceanic was garbage. Thanks to J&L I got a ballast with in days Oceanic took 3 months 1 of the fans went a couple of days after the first ballast 1 of the LEDs went after 3 months. (I only run then 3 hour a day) I really like the all in on concept but if it where me I'd stay away from the Biocube J

My 3 biocubes have been a different story....I have only had 1 ballast in 1 of the 3 go...all other lights have been perfect....LED's no problem...heat hasn't been an issue at all......and I like them. I have no complaints with the Oceanic Biocubes....my are/were all 14g.

I have to agree with REDNECK_REEFER and Chaloupa
I have a 29g and have had no problems. No issues with heat and even during very hot weather evaporation is minimal. I've added a hydor nano powerhead and the oceanic skimmer and it is pretty well maintenance free.

JBJ has the cracking issue fixed. The newer tanks with serial numbers are ok. I've had one for almost a year. The lighting crapped out on me. Now I run open top with a
150w sunpod. It gets warm but not bad enough for a chiller. I lose between 1 and 2 litres of water a day. For the cost of the tank I would not buy another AIO, it was good to get me going in the salt world.
