A reef aquarium for someone on the go

The 37 is not really a cube but more of a deep rectangle. It's a misnomer. It's at Petsmart for $299 with stand, tank, lid and flourescent lamp. I've been looking online and it's hard to find stuff on it. Oceanic's Web site is lacking too. Go figure.

I did a quick google search but couldn't find any 37 cube tanks.  Only could find the 30 gallon ones[/quote]

Yeah, that's what I would do

Hey,

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way...to the Oceanic tanks. =)

Does it come predrilled for an overflow?

 

Are there prebuilt overflow tanks that are below 50 gallons? Can't seem to find any.

 

Not that I am aware of. Unless you go acrylic.

 

is acrylic a good idea for a reef tank? Which would be lighter, acrylic or glass? Acrylic will be less likely to break while moving, right?

 

Well some people like acrylic.
I've stayed away from it because it's much easier to scratch.
I can't imagine it's easy to scape off coralline algae without scratching it. Just a hunch.
