loveschatter asked:
Are nano cubes honestly alright to use?
Is anyone having any defects, problems with theres?
I have heard (maybe persay), that the older (few years back) models had some defects.
Am thinking about trying one for salt water, but didn’t really wish to waste any hard earned money on one till I tryed to check with some people who had them thereself.
Thank you all for your help, I do appreciate it. God bless.
p.s- Have had salt water aquariums before, I was just Wondering about Nano cubes please.
Thanks…

two issues: the pump tends to break but that’s not a hard or expensive fix
every single person that I’ve know including myself who has gotten a nano cube….always wishes they had gotten a larger size…very quickly lol so buy the biggest you can possibly afford

For salt water tanks, bigger is always better.
It’s almost impossible to maintain proper chemical and salt levels in anything smaller than 30 gallons.
Also, fish keeping is addictive. You may find that YOU “outgrow” that tiny little tank. Almost immediately you’ll be wishing for more space for “this, that and the other” cool thing you find.
Save up, do some research on fish and “critters” you’re interested in, and wait until the time is right for a good sized tank.

In my own opinion, they’re too small to be a really good marine tank. Most marine fish are territorial and are sensitive to water quality, so you’re really limited on what you can keep in them.
The 24 gallon nano would be suitable for a pair of one of the smaller clownfish species, like the oscellaris or perculas, or 2-3 fish that are around 2-3 inches in length as adults at best. Biocubes do make a nice display tank for invertebrates (corals, crabs, shrimp, hermits), though. My own first saltwater tank was a 29 gallon, and in 6 months, I moved up to a 55 gallon because I considered the too 29 small for much of what I wanted.
For the price of a biocube, you can probably buy a 55 gallon and the needed equipment, then have the additional room to keep more/larger fish.
