Biocube Dilemma

[Joe14]

So im looking for a all in one for my bed room. i settled on a biocube because ive had one before. i found a biocube thats been running for 4 years has live rock and sand already in it and has coraline everywhere ( no big deal for me ). there asking $100 for everything. yes thats right $100.. but i also found one close by thats brand new never had a drop of water in it for $350. Would it be smarter to get the tank thats used or new? i dont mind cleaning the used one up. but i also dont mind starting from scratch either? what would you do in this situation?

i also meant to add as far as a fish plan goes Im looking to do a mostly softie and LPS tank and 3 fish. 2 clowns and a yellow watchman.

I would get used one personally . As long as in good condition and if u want u can start that one from scratch although I would maybe switch it up a little and make to my tastes . Use the extra money to get some cool stuff for inside the tank . I have a 200 in wall Thx

I bought this 200 used and emptied it and did it my way and put my corals and fish . I built it i the wall of my living room . This is final product so u see u don’t need to spend tons of money for a Nice looking tank. The trick for me in reefing is keeping it simple and stable . I don’t over do or complicate things. Thx
