Also fans get pretty noisy after a while, there easy to replace at about $12 dollars per fan at a computer store. Also after a while the tank seemed a little bit small in size which is why i am now upgrading, i think the red sea max has t5 lighting and its a bit bigger. If price wasnt a factor i probably would have went with that.
a few things are off on this post... bio cubes are 29g and they have 2 36 watt pc bulbs

red sea max 34g tanks say they are "t5 lighting styled bulbs" or something along those lines but what they really mean is they are PC bulbs = junk IMO

the 65g ? red sea is a nicer tank with a 6 bulb t5 fixture but the bad thing about red sea tanks in general are the pumps are GARBAGE they come broken from the factory lots of times...

the 28g nano cube seems to be ok ... of them esp. the 3w led version the 1w led had some issues with the gasket that keeps moister out of the fixture .... hqi runs to hot ...
