Sometimes I am too clever for myself So I added a new Koralia Nano to my tank to get more flow for two Flavias and a Frogspawn. These new additions seemed to be doing will with the existing pumps but I thought a little more flow couldn't hurt. Naturally, it stirred things up a little but not...

Since my skimmer pump is in the rear chamber I am not as risk of picking up sand or debris. It is a tight fit with two pumps in one chamber but it works. I really wanted the Tunze nano but I would have had to sacrifice one of my return pumps.

Totally agree IF you are doing weekly water changes. Per his comment not wanting the skimmer to be a pain, I use a skimmer so I am not a slave to water changes. True my tank is not totally stocked yet and I probably will see my values increase as I do but I may have to do PWC every two weeks.

Is it skimming? Is so what kind of results? Just set mine up and had a ton of bubbles. Once the skimmer was broken in and began to skim the bubbles are almost gone.

May want to rethink the no skimmer I have a relatively new 28gal Nano. Not a bio cube but similar. I hesitated doing the skimmer as well and since all my levels were very good (although a not yet heavily populated tank) and I thought the chemical filtration would also do the job. THe reality...

Stocking and cycling I wanted to try something different with this set up. 1) To avoid using regular live rock (due to expense and trying to save a coral reef or two) so I opted for 35lbs of dry eco rock from BRS. 2) And to avoid stressing fish so I cycled with Dr. Tim's One and Only. I...

Here are some pics as promised. This is after I cycled the tank. Live stock consisted at the time of photo Picaso Clown, Azure Damsel, Brown Polyp (green eye), Emerald crab, a few hermits and snails

I will post a pic on my next update. I am just like you love gadgets and love to experiement. I bought the JBJ because it was a self contained system... well we all know that is not really true and my need to upgrade and fiddle with things got the better of me.

Hey, I am new to this board so I thought I would post my experience starting a new JBJ 28gal with the PRO LED lighting system. I have been away from the hobby for about 10 years, new kids and starting your own business will do that to you. I also gave up golf but that had more to do with the...

just found this site and found a new home I just found this site and stumbled onto your thread... good thing for me. I too have the 28 nano but with the PRO LED. I am about 2 months into running it (with very satisfactory results so far). I love your thread since you are ahead of me so I can...
