JBJ Nanocube vs. Oceanic Biocube

Just curious if anyone has had experience with either of these two tanks. looking for the pro's and con's to both. I plan on getting one or the other within the next month. From some reading it seems like the Biocube has more Watts per gallon for the lighting, but I could be wrong. I am only looking for either an 8 gallon up to a 14 gallon. The 29 is just to big for what room I have. Again thanks for any input you all have.

 

My wife runs a 29g in her office that we love it does so well on flow and water evap... lots of room for rock and coral every thing does great in it....

 

More watts per gallon is correct, I don't know about the quality of a JBJ. I have a Biocube 8 and the quality seems very good.

 

If you're going small I'd suggest a Biocube but if you decide to go bigger (29g) I'd do JBJ. They have a better filtration system as far as options are concerned AND they have them with HQI ($500) and now in LED ($700-$750) on E-bay. Price includes stand & shipping. I wish I could afford one now and sell my 29g Biocube.

 

I was thinking the Biocube is the way I will go. probably the 14. The stock lights should be plenty for most corals I would assume.

 

after doing some more reading on the Bio cube, some say it keeps the water temp to high...82-83. anyone else seeing this kind of issue.

 

I have a jbj and the temp can get high like that during the warm months as well. If it does that in the winter I would steer away. Other then that I haven't had a problem with my jbj at all.
