Which all-in-one nano should I choose?

[bbhs23]

I am trying to get back into the hobby and i think that a small tank would be the best for me. I have decided that I want an all-in-one tank such as the Red Sea Max or the BioCube, but I can't decide on which one. These are the things that are important to me:
-about in the 25-30 gallon range
-lighting isnt that important cause i am going to be keeping zoas and mushrooms (but if there is a better nano tank with MH's, then I would be willing to get that one)
-something that doesnt require a lot of modifiactions (something that will work well out of the box)

Please let me know what you think would be the best for me! Thanks!

Red Sea Max is a good tank. It's expensive initially but when you add all the "Extras" into the equation that come standard with the RSM I think it's priced just right.

I just got an aquapod 12 gallon that fits right on my nightstand and it works great it has compact flourescent which are all that you need for shrooms and such. And it has a built in cooling. With the deluxe canopy it has a blue actinic and a white plus two blue led's built in for moonlight. The only thing that it doesnt have is a skimmer but with the biofilter it seems fine without and i have seen one of these at the LFS that has been up for 9 years or so and had a sailfin and everything. IT was a 24 gallon though which was too big for my purpose but you really dont need to go overboard with a skimmer just make sure you do your water changes.

none... not one is any good for an actual all in one REEF TANK. By the time your done modifying it for heat reduction, adequate lighting and skimming, you might have well just bought a regular tank and built it yourself.

I have not seen an all in one set up thay looks worth it to me. My personal thoughts are to build up your own and you will have something that you can reley on provided you selected all the right parts.

I bought the 29 gal bio cube and am into it for about $1200 so far with a couplke of more tweeks to go. I agree with some of the other posts previous to mine, in that a Reef tank built piece by piece will cost the same or less and be a better systym. i went with the Bio cube because Iwanted that TV clean look that the bio-cube or Red Sea give you. So far i've upgraded the pump to a maxi-jet 1200, added a bio-cube skimmer. In hind site if i could go back in time I would have gone with a Finnex system, or built a stand canopy with drilled tank with sump with canopy cover to clean up the look. my esteimate is that would have cost me about another $500 so far but would be a better Reef tank and that is the goal first and formost as a reef keeper. I am in process of putting a 120-150 gal system together and once done the bio cube will be come a gauranteen tank. My main problem with the Biocube so far is a heat problem which I beleive I have a handle on which was upgradeing to a cooler pump and adding two fans in the back that run when the lights are off, and only one Hydor nano on at a time alternating, my temps are now at 78-79, my goal is 77-78 with added fans i should get their.

If you're looking for an AIO, I'd probably go with the Solana minus the disco ball MH lighting. Substitute for a Sunpod instead.
