Im also looking at starting up. Main thing is cost so i decided to go with a 14g
bio cube, all contained except heater. its going to cost me 580$ for starting out from scratch. talked to the store owner this morning actualy. the lights allon in the bio cube are worht 210.00 seperatly, the whole bio cube is 260.00. the the live rock and sand, 2
clown fish with anenome and basic test kit etc is 530 plus tax. so form my research, thats the cheapest entery level i can achive ( uless I look at a bunch of prity rocks

)
