For $269.99 brand new. Is that a good price and a good way to start getting into SW?

Have you did all your research on SW? I payed 300 for my 75 gallon with stand and hood. If you really want a good deal, look for people who are selling there setups in your area. Look at kijji and CL and ebay...

Good price and good way to get into SW. Also, it takes TONS of research. I would get a 24g AquaPod over the 29 Oceanic. EDIT: The JBJ 24g will give you more wpg than either of the other two tanks.

I've been researching. I'm not in a hurry to set up, and I'd make sure I've got everything in order, just keeping my eye out for good deals right now. I've been looking for ones for sale...I don't really want another big tank (have a 100g freshwater already), just something smaller to try the sw thing. Are all the necessary components really included in the bio cubes? are they ok quality wise?

So you're saying the JBJ is a better deal?

Yes, lighting wise. Quality wise, AquaPods are a little higher. If you get this ([Only Registered Users Can See Links.]) with the 150w MH light you could have practically any coral.

I'm in Ontario, Canada, so I have to be careful with shipping costs from the US.

IMO a nanocube isnt a good start, best to start from scratch

IMO a nanocube isnt a good start, best to start from scratchI would start off from scratch too, if I were you. Alot of what you will need to learn about saltwater comes from just choosing equipment and assembling your own system.
Also, a nano cube gives you less space to work with/less room for fish than a standard tank.

yep, with your own system you know what you are working with, and you can easily upgrade lighting and other parts

the only way i would get a all-in-one nanocube is if it was like coach's, you design it all yourself
