Looking at the Nano Cube. Had been thinking about getting the professional, but after poking around, thought maybe I should get the intermediate and swap out the lights with the kit from Steve's LEDs. Would that give me a similar effect to a Kessil-160? That's another route I'm thinking about taking the Nuvo 30L with Kessil's, which is obviously a more expensive proposition.

For now looking to do soft corals, lots of inverts, a couple of fish (clown and goby) with an anenome. But I like the the lighting control the Kessil's offer.

For those of you using an Ecotech Vortech MP10 in your tank. What setting and power level do you like best?

 

[Menedu]

I used the Yellow setting in mode 2 about 2/3 power.

Old Reefer coming out of retirement

Old Reefer coming out of retirement

Hi all,

I retired from reef-keeping many years ago due to a heartbreaking crash of my 90g. Now I'm inspired to start up again on a smaller scale. Looks like much has changed. Here's the plan.

Setup

• JBJ 28g NanoCube LED Aquarium - 27 Watt Intermediate
• Caribsea Ocean Direct Live Sand Original - 40 lbs
• CaribSea South Seas Aquascaping Base Rock - 10 lbs
• Cobalt Aquatics Easy-Therm Submersible Heater - 100 Watt
• Innovative Marine AUQA Gadget Ghost Protein Skimmer - DeskTop
• JBJ Automatic Top Off System and Acella Powerhead

I suspect I can keep mushrooms, zooanthids, xenia, LPS, BT anemone, clown, gobie, shrimp...
Not sure if I can keep any SPS or a clam.

Am I heading in the right direction? Did I make any wrong turns?

Thanks,

 

[Menedu]

Hi Mr. Qualiy,

This setup should be adequate for everything you mentioned above, you are heading in the right direction!

What do you guys dose to keep these corals? Ive been using B-ionic part 1 and 2, I have success with xenias and mushrooms. i tried to buy a monti cap and it bleached out fairly quickly. I had it all the way at the bottom of the tank.. jbj HQi 28gallon

Here's my Jbj 28. All SPS and a clam.

Dear All,
I have a 28G LED Intermediate and want to upgrade my lighting a bit. I thought adding a couple of 12" strips in between the stock LEDs (USA Truelumen 12-Inch Dual Nano LED Striplight Kit). Anyone tried this or have better alternative (other than gutting the hood and doing a complete refit). I have soft corals and a few Acan which are doing OK but I think a bit more light wouldn't hurt. (I hope). Apologies if this has been covered to death - I saw a few posts but no real answers. Cheers.

Seems like a broken record... I have a 28 gal JBJ PRO and the 14k daylights are LACKING if I'm being nice. I'm looking for some replacement strips, hopefully something plug and play, but I can solder the ends on to a new strip if one exists too... any suggestions? I have Modified my hood to house a few EcoXotic Stunner strips and that helps, just looking to put this thing over the top.

Getting my JBJ28 going again. Thinking of going rimless anyone doing this can it be done?

 

[Gagonzalez]

I am running "Open Top" with an AI Hydra26 if that is what you mean. Been "Open Top" for about a year now? Fantastic Light!

 

[ckranz]

Well I seen people take the trim off. I got a reef breeder so no top for sure.

I'm downsizing from a 75g with sump to a 28g nanocube. I bought one off another reefer. It's a 28g intermediate, but looks like they were half way through trying to change the drivers out to be dimmable. I am debating between

1. Fixing the intermediate LEDs
OR
2. Affix a Radion up in the hood

I have drivers that would probably work (assuming the ones he had been using don't check out) and I have 2 Radions from my 75g. Thoughts?

 

[XtremeFromHell]

Any one have an automatic fish feeder on their 28g? Im curious how its set up and which one you have... looking to get one for mine

I'm setting mine up this weekend. I want to remove the rim off of it since I don't have a canopy. Then going to hang a Kessil 360 over it. Going to focus on reef keeping and a few fish.

Is anyone using a rubber mat in between the tank and stand? I saw someone do that and wondered why, sounds dampening?

Any luck finding details on the removal?

Found some info on removing the rim on the 28g
