Information on jbj or oceanic biocube

[DAVE D]

Hello I would like to get infomation on a small set up for my 14 teen year old son. I would like to know if the Oceanic 29 gal is better set up than the 28 gal JBJ:confused: Please help I would like to get him one. I just do not know the pros/cons. :fish2:

I have the Oceanic BioCube.....I love it. They are really for the most part the same, just different brands.

Hey Dave, the main difference is the type of lighting in the hood they come with. The metal halides closed tops will require a chiller, whereas power compacts you can get away without one depending on ambient temperature, but you have more of a limited selection of corals. You can always go open top with metal halides which won't require a chiller depending on ambient temps and allow a more variety of corals.

But if it were me, I'd go with Cadlights 39g (cadlights.com) :D

They are virtually the same. I know that JBJ does have a factory upgrade that features metal halides. Both versions of the JBJs include 4 LED moon lights. I wasn't impressed with the Biocube moonlights, which only had three.
