cube masters nano

Has anyone had experience with these tanks ?

http://www.oceanproaquatics.com/shop...7f5f55c061aa8d

I was thinking of getting one because it has a great price but I've never heard of them before and I don't want to end up buying something that is crap.

thanks alot
asherah

looks like a Chinese knock-off of a nano...i like it, but the price scares me like it will shatter when you least expect it.

LOL, yeah. They make it a point that their glass won't break!

" * Perfect Tank Design available in Black
* Super Thick Crack Resistant 5mil Glass / Rounded Corners
* Extra Thick 5mil Glass! (much thicker than the Nano Cube™)

* Perfect Lighting System (burns cooler than the Nano Cube™)
* Perfect Filter System (new improved)
* Dual Illuminated Switching panel (a must see)"

And they seem to have perfected lighting and filtration... sounds perfect!

BTW, did you check out their price on the 12g DX?!?! $280!! You can get the 12g AP with 70 watt MH for less than that at full price!

$175 for 12g AP w/ 70 watt MH: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...6&pcatid=13976

It should be around $200 shipped.

I was one of the lucky ones to pick up on from marine depot for $150, local p/u.

It never knew that system had a T5 setup. I dunno if it stating the whole system is only 24W or each bulb though. I would just try to find out about their warranty and customer service. See if they will replace it if something happens like stated above with the jbj and poor customer service. I am surprised how jbj left you hanging like that kingnitro1. I would have told them off like no other. LOL

I actually heard they were a good AIO nano tank because they have the T5 Bulbs.
