So I notice people really like the biocube aquariums. They are sleek aio kits and come at a pretty reasonable price for what you get. Heck I plan on getting one In the future and placing it next to my nuvo 10g tank.
However I do notice alot of people buy it and immediately take the hood off and use their own lights like an ai prime instead of using the stock light that is built into the hood.
My question is, why pay the price for a biocube when you arent going to keep half of what comes with it? The hood its self contributes to almost half the cost of the entire setup. Is the biocube really only worth it if you intend on using the hood?
Personally when I get one I do plan on removing the hood because it gets too hot in my house and regulating the temp of a tank with a hood is a nightmare for me. I use fans to keep my temp stable.
Would the biocube still be a good investment? Can you buy it without the hood to cut down costs? Why buy the biocube tank without the hood if there are other more economical options.
No way trying to bash biocube or talk myself out of getting one I am more just curious on what everyone else thinks about them.
