Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm considering my first saltwater setup, and I'd like to keep things as simple (and inexpensive) as possible. To that end, there's a package that I've got my eye on. An Oceanic biocube 29, with the following included:
150w heater
Skimmer (fits in the back and is rather small, I know)
API marine test kit set
Water conditioner
Buffering chemicals
Hydrometer
Bag of salt
Some marine flake food (dunno if this is any good)
All of this for $516. The stand is an additional $175. I'm not sure if this is worth it. What do you all think? And I'm not looking for a reef setup here, just FOWLER. I guess the live rock would be the most expensive thing not included.
To make my life more complicated, another store near me is offering the biocube AND stand for about $450, with %10 off "related fish supplies". I'm inclined to think that this would probably cost me more, but... I really don't know. I guess what it boils down to is, are the things I listed above worth the approximatly $200 over the base price of the biocube itself?
