I just came across an LFS selling Odyssea Cube-7 aquaria for $39.95
A seven gallon cube, they come with a flip-up lid with a 13 watt PC daylight bulb and this cute little internal filter which is basically a cylinder with a powerhead pushing water into the back half of the cylinder and through a filter cartridge, out the front half down a little spillway.
The filter is lame but I'll just stuff a little filter floss in the bottom and topping it with some sintered glass bio media.
My question is, is $39.95 a fair price? I won't quibble over a few bucks because I prefer to buy locally, even though I don't like this particular LFS so much - they sell painted glass fish, glofish, and those bizzaro overbred discus boosted with hormones - the ones that look like toy plastic fish.
All that aside, is it a decent price? Does anyone have any experience with this model, have anything to say about it good or bad?
My thought about the light is that the tank is not very tall so the light intensity should be pretty good at 13w/7gallons. I want to start a teeny little Diane Walstad style tank, with soil under gravel (I'll probably use sand) substrate.
A nano-walstad?
