Question Which Nano Tank To Get?

Well i what to get a nano tank but i have no idea on what to get. I know how dumb it sounds dumb but I really like the way nanos look. I was thinking in about a 10 gallon tank. I dunno if I want to get a Biocube or just buy a 10 gallon tank and work from there. What is cheaper? Well thanks

10g are cheaper but small cubes give more room for better aquascaping

Seems like you could completely set up a beautiful nano (pico) for the price of a Biocube. I think I'd vote for the 10galAGA. It also doesn't scratch as easily or yellow over time as some acrylics do.

Hi,
I have the JBL Nano DX 12 gallon and I am happy with it. It has been up for almost a year and have had very little trouble with it. I would recommend it based on my own experience. DrFostersmith has it on sale with a free stand and the standard shipping is pretty cheap... Have fun...

Biocubes, like all other all in one cubes, are made with GLASS.

see the only thing i want to do is have like a few pounds of liverock in the tank and maybe some sand and a couple fish. If this helps any. I really dont want to get corals and stuff the the 10 gallon maybe later but not now.
