I just restarted my JBJ Nanocube 6gal again.
Here's my thread, not much to see. Just a pile of rocks for now.

Of course, you don't see all of the work that I had already put into the little tank in the past.
I did do a lot of modifications to this tank. I put in a DIY LED into the hood by copying most of the concept from nano-reef, 2 power supply to turn on the white and blue separately. It's really nice to also be able to dim the lights to allow for the exact color. I also swapped out the stock return pump, and put in a Minijet 606 pump...straight swap. I have another Minijet 606 pump in the first chamber to feed the 1/15 external chiller. I drilled a hole in the 3rd chamber to return the flow from the chiller directly back into the front tank. Then I cut/peeled off the back mask on the 2nd chamber, and have a small light attached on the outside of the 2nd chamber. I will grow Chaeto in the 2nd chamber with rubble rock on the bottom. The 1st chamber also has a 50w heater, a bag of carbon and a bag of phosphate remover. The 3rd chamber also has a tunze osmolator to auto-topoff, which I push through my DIY Kalkwasser chamber.
My next project would be to have an auto water changer. With the bare-bottom, I feel that frequent water changes are necessary. I just can't find a cheap dual head pump right now. But it is definitely on my list since I don't have much time to devote to the tank with the baby.
For now, I don't plan on having any fishes. I don't want the extra bioload for the algae to grow. So this would mean my tank is going to be fairly boring looking for awhile. I don't recommend having so many snails either, it just adds to the bioload, and creates more fuel for the algae. Just do water changes, and pull it out by hand. You are trying to remove as much fuel as possible.
