I'm brand new to the sport and I am looking for some advice on setting up a nano reef tank (and yes I know bigger is better). The two tanks I've been looking at are the Oceanic Bio Cube 29 vs. the Finnex 30 w/refuge. I know I need to add a skimmer to the Bio Cube and it was recommended to add an additional pump to the Finnex system. Any thoughts which is the better system or if there another one out there I am missing. Is the refugium more hassle than it is worth? I'm looking for a relatively low cost and low maintanence system.

On the other front, live rock goes for around $10 per lbs where I live. What are the risks of ordering live rock online?

What about buying an existing system?
