I have a 28 HQI model and was wondering if I'd be able to replace my lighting for a reefbreeders led set up, has anyone done this? I want to keep my good, just replace the HQI w leds
I did fail to mention that everything went from one tank to a new tank because my tank was defective and replaced. I am thinking that maybe there was some oils or something that may be causing the issue and I may just have to wait and let the carbon/purigen soak it up over time. Of course this also means I am running slightly dirtier water.
I currently have the following in the tank:
Flame Angel (Sonny)
Purple Firefish (Murphy)
Royal Gramma (Princess Dot)
Longnose Hawk (Hawkeye)
Yellow Goby (Chiquita)
6 Florida Ceriths
18 Nassarius
4" Gold and Purple Crocea
Pink Birdsnest
Purple Tip Green Frogspawn
Alveopora
Wham'n Watermelon Zoas
Neon Green Paly's
2" Sand bed
Approx 30lbs Live Rock
Does anyone think I will have any issues with anything if I can't run the skimmer for a month or so? I think I will increase my water changes from 3g weekly to 4g weekly but I can't think of what else I can do. I would appreciate any suggestions I could try.
Thanks

So I just wanted to post an update (and vent) on my tank situation with JBJ.
A little while back, I had an issue where the side of the tank was bubbling up from a leak behind the side black covering. I contacted JBJ about it and they were nice enough to send me another tank. Unfortunately, it was broken by UPS during shipping so it was discarded per JBJ. A 2nd tank was sent and I proceeded to do the transfer of rock, water, fish, corals and bought new sand. About a week after the transfer, the new tank also started to bubble on the opposite side. In addition, the 3 center chambers had a leak so the water level dropped to the point that water wouldn't flow over to the end chambers. Needless to say, not good! I contacted JBJ again and they sent a 3rd tank. This tank arrived with a small crack across the top back of the tank and possibly another on the side. Just for giggles, I decided to put water in the center 3 chambers and low and behold, it leaked down into the end chambers. I contacted JBJ yet again and was told that there is nothing that they could do but send out another bare tank. I explained that sending another bare tank may be why problems are happening since the foam in the box seems to support the entire unit with the light hood and not just the bare tank. They said sorry and that they could only send out a bare tank since there is nothing wrong with the light hood.
Needless to say, I am VERY dissapointed in JBJ and will not EVER purchase their products in the future because of the customer support experience and lack of quality control in their products. I am currently looking at upgrading my tank to a 50g Cadd Lights Artisan II, Stand, Skimmer and Sump as soon as I can afford it. I hope that no one who owns a JBJ product ever need any kind of support because based on what I have experienced, it will be hell. Thanks to everyone who has helped me in this thread, I really appreciate all your support.

I had a very similar thing happen. Bought a replacement bare bones tank as my warranty had expired. It then took them 4 tanks before one finally arrived that wasn't broken...every single tank had the same problem with the compartments in the back not sealing to the rear glass, just like yours. It looked to me as if the silicone job sealing the compartments to the glass was just crap. Anyway, i would also not buy another JBJ tank again. On top of the crappy workmanship, their customer service was horrific. They lost my warranty return information repeatedly, and actually getting someone on the phone was a feat in itself. I feel lucky that my 3 fish, corals, and other livestock were able to survive in a plastic tote box for as long as they did....no losses!
