    Welcome to 3reef,

    I hear mixed reviews on the bio-cube, there are a number of members on this forum that have them. I had one about 3 years ago, it was a great tank, but they may have since changed it.

    Nano cubes are also very good AIO tanks.

    Solana and Cardiff are really nice but much more expensive.

    Look into the Oceanic Biocube HQI, my mom is actually getting one, and that was the one that I finally hooked her into getting into the hobby.

    I have had 29gallon BioCube for over a year and am currently working on a 90 gallon upgrade. The BioCube is nice compact and all in one but I found it very hard to keep clean and stable, even with weekly water changes. There is such a low volume of water that any little change disrupts everything. I wish I would have started bigger with a sump and that would be my advice to you.
