Someone in my local CL (craigslist), has an Oceanic NanoCube (or is it BioCube) for sale. He listed it as a 10 gallon. But I can't find any references to a 10 gallon model. I find 8 and 14 gallon models. From the pic and surrounding items in the pic, I would say it's an 8 gallon.
I don't know anything about this type of tank but it seems to get good reviews. It's pretty dirty with scale and salt deposits and will need a lot of elbow grease. The filter powers up and runs but he can't find the cord for the light. I haven't seen it in person but the way he described it and from what I've read online, it's a ballast power cord combo? Is that right? If so they are about $50.
He's asking $30 for aquarium, empty, no other supplies. If I had to buy that cord, would it be worth it? Or would it be cheaper to just setup to setup a 10 gallon standard tank? I should have started this thread with the fact that I'm only looking to do a nano FO sw tank, with appropriately sized fish of course...or maybe reef only with some LR.
If I could get the tank running for $80 (plus probably needs a new bulb and filter cartridges), would it be worth it?
