ok - i will try to raise the water level in those chambers to see if it helps. i use an ato, so the water level in the outter chambers is a lot lower than in the middle.
i also use the sponges, but i have trouble making them lay flat against the chamber wall all the way down. =\
thanks again for everyones help!

I am looking into buying the 28g HQI Nanocube. Are there any common problems or tips I should know about the thank. I have read a few pages of this thread and the actinic upgrade has been mentioned several times. Is this upgrade needed sps/ lps growth or just personnal pref for more light? How is the overall performace of the stock setup?
Thanks

I have a JBJ 28 CF quad and I modified the center chamber and nano Tunze for skimming from the center chamber. Works great! If you are interested send me a PM and I will describe the modification. Rick

In addition to the nano tunze protein skimmer center chamber modification I have two other "pearls" . Want to get your nitrates down? add a 5 or 10 gallon cheap tank as a refugium and put Chaeto (sp?) algae in it and use a simple 6500 K or 10000 K CF bulb from Lowes or Home Depot, compact flourescent ( Obama bulb!) to grow the algae. Set it to come on at night for 8 to 10 hours and your nitrates in 1 to 2 weeks will go to zero. Be sure to thin the algae out each month. Also, a cheap persons chiller is a simple fan on LOW running at night or 24 hours a day on the floor around the tank. I never get above 80 with the fan on. With the fan off I get to 82 or 84 but big deal as this is comprable to the ocean reef. I haven't decided if this even needed. My corals and fish and invertebrates in a fully loaded tank are doing great. My bulbs however are CF not MH.

Removing the lid is a good idea as it helps with letting out the heat from the halide.
That's my new rig. When I get the display part of it together I will try to send more pictures. I did not try to take a picture of the eheim wet dry under the stand......
