i personaly have an oceanic bio-cube 14 gallon, i like the lighting, though it could use a ttle more, and it has moon lights. glass is actual glass with curved corners, but 8 gallon modle is plastic. filtration is a built in true wet dry trickle system, and does more than enough fir the sysem. ill go months without changing any water, and still have optimum paramiters. i added a power head for a little more water movement, stock is enogh. cost is 175 out the door, and you can get an oceanic
skimmer made specificly for your tank for fourty. i have no complaints. tank also avalible in 8 and 24 galllon with all the same features. good luck with the change over, and happy hunting!
