zak.payne Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm looking for the "best" closed top system out there, preferably AIO. I need something to keep pets out, so I think the closed top is the way to go. I've looked at the Biocube, with the option to retrofit the lights if need be, but I'd like to find one out there with lights sufficient for most LPS corals. Quote Link to comment
FISHnChix Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well biocube is a good way to go tons of mods that have already been done their lights can keep most lps and nanobox makes good kit for future upgrades. Closed system keeps evap way down but if you dont climate control your house 24/7 heat can become an issue. I am confused on the pests you want to keep out ? Quote Link to comment
zak.payne Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Cats like to try and get into tanks 🙂 specifically sitting on top, so a screen top would make me nervous. Quote Link to comment
FISHnChix Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well that's an easy fix get rid of the cats and get a dog.... 😋. Honestly for the price I love my biocube.. good tank only bitch is the curved front glass is a little annoying to clean... Quote Link to comment
zak.payne Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well, it's the girlfriend's cat, so it's a little harder to get rid of 😛 I'm the one with the dog, so we are know who is the more sane person... 1 Quote Link to comment
FISHnChix Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Ok so at least we are on the same page. What's the concern with not going with the biocube? I think jbj makes a closed cube too. Also check out the aio section on here there is a lot of good info with threads dedicated to this or that system. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I bought a clear view lid and it holds up well to my water loving cats. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't have any concerns, I was more curious if there were other closed top systems that were on the market. I really only ever hear of Biocube, so that's the one I referenced. Quote Link to comment
