Nano cube

[trenac]

I seen this great little 12G tank at my [acronym:40c8e749dd="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:40c8e749dd] by JBJ called a Nano cube. I was thinking about buying one. Is anyone here using one and if so what are your thoughts on it. Heres a link: http://www.jbjlighting.com/sys_nanocube.html

I would like to know too! I would love to have a nano reef...that would be awesome. Can 1 clown fish go in somthing like this? Thanks!

seems to be a good one. Fluorescent tube and good mechanical+biological filters. Would consider one myself if I saw that at my [acronym:e5874d297e="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:e5874d297e]!

i have had one at an old job they actually are curved class, use [acronym:e5cd8422d1="Power compact fluorescent"]pc[/acronym:e5cd8422d1] lighting, and have wet, dry filters built into the back. There is also room for carbon bags or ceramics. I have seen them used for some corals, [acronym:e5cd8422d1="Large polyped Scleractinian (stoney) coral"]LPS[/acronym:e5cd8422d1] and softs, they did well, also i have seen them used for dwarf seahorses and they to did well. One small perc. should due fine in one, a drawback though is that most of the bioballs in the sump are fully submerged. JC

I wouldn't suggest a clown or any other fish in a nano unless you have experience with [acronym:7ac0933125="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:7ac0933125] to begin with; water parameters are extremely difficult to keep in a [acronym:7ac0933125="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:7ac0933125] tank that size with the addition of fish waste (notice you don't see any in the pics). However, a [acronym:7ac0933125="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:7ac0933125] nano tank with some inverts is pretty cool!

Its a cute tank too.

i owuld have to disagree since most inverts corals and shrimp alike are more sensative to water changes and therefore a clown is a better choice.

[Allivymar]

True they are sensitive, but their influence on bioload is limited compared to fish, which means less a chance of water parameters going out of whack in an eyeblink.

[xxmoorishmanxx]

good point but im thinking of spikes in salinity and temp which could cause a prob, nevertheless if i went with a mini reef it;s the tank to do it in,

[acronym:78335be824="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:78335be824] And good point back to you.

In other words folks, nano tanks take a lot of work [acronym:78335be824="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:78335be824]

My plans are for a freshwater tank with low light plants. They are also in the near future coming out with a C02 unit for it.
