bio cube 29 stocked vs Red Sea G170

[patdman]

Hi there, I am new to the hobby, and I narrowed my choice down to these 2 tanks for the size of my area. A used Red Sea G170 comes with a lid and pump for 400 cash or a 29gallon bio cube comes stocked with fish and has an aftermarket light and hanging skimmer for 300 turn key. Any recommendations on which to pick would be helpful.

Depends on the condition of the Red Sea. I assume it's the AIO model without the external sump?

I just picked up the red sea. It's in good shape and was used for a year or so. The guy got rid of it to upgrade to a bigger tank. He threw in a pump and bag of sand plus an aftermarket lid. It comes with a sump and stand. 43 gallons in total. Now I am shopping for the LED light. Any recommendations for a midrange light or anything else I might need would be great.
