Cheapest JBJ 24g Nanocube?

I'm thinking of downgrading from a 40g. and just going with the 24g. nanocube for awhile. Anyone know who's got the cheapest in stock for pickup?

When I was last at Passiopn of the Sea he had them for $200 each. I don't know if that is a good but Anthony usually has very good prices.

That is a good price if it is the jbj. Even ebay is $200 plus shipping. The aquapods are cheaper.

yes it is the JBJ. He was gracious enough to donate one to SCMAS for the Christmas party raffle a few months ago.

$200 is probably as low as I'll find it local, a pretty good price since I don't have to pay shipping (and they're kinda heavy).

I heard about the cracking on the early 24's, but I gathered JBJ was on top of that?

I looked at nanocustoms, but then I realized it's overkill. I started out 2 years ago with a 12g nanocube with a lot less light than the 24's have now, and it did just fine. 70w is plenty when you consider they aren't all that tall.

Does Passion have a telephone number?
