The Oceanic Biocube is glass. I bought an Current Aquapod (similar to the BioCube) 24 gallon a year ago, and looking back, and have been pretty happy with it. There are some problems inherent with all of the self contained "cube" aquariums - heat buildup, water circulation and lack of lighting options being the most annoying. They "do" everything, they just don't do it well. However, I think they look amazing, which out-weighs the negatives for me.
I noticed you are in Spokane - I live right up the road, so to speak. (Sandpoint, ID) If you haven't been to [URL="http://aquariumsolutions.org/]Aquarium Solutions[/URL] yet, go check it out. It is the ONLY decent store in Spokane and surrounding areas for great fish and plants. They have an 24g Aquapod set up as a planted display tank, you could take a look first-hand.
Good luck, and if you need any plants for your new tank, let me know!
