    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Tank look very nice, nice color choices.

    My favorite are the Dendro and the mini-carpet. I love the color of the dotty backs too, and he will not be shy for long, make sure he does not start beating up Marley.

    :)

    Very nice from a fellow jbj 28 owner,but i must say those LED's are sweet,lots of blue in them.Do you run your wavemaker along with your powerhead or can you run both return pumps at the same time without overflowing that new media basket? I plan on upgrading to that same basket and adding the jbj magnetic LED fuge light here soon.

    Thanks yea I like the LEDs A LOT; no heat, almost no water evaporation, get the shimmer effect, great light output, last for years, 40% less electricity than bulb.

    I have a RKL that is running the two returns on a 5 minute rotation. The powerhead stays on during the day and shuts off at night. I can run both pumps, but its right on the edge of overflowing the basket and running the water level low. I'll play around with the filtration in the basket some next water change and see if I can get a little better flow.

    The JBJ Nano-Glo seems to be a good light, but you have to put the magnet in one of the two side chambers, the inTank basket is just a little too tall to have the magnet on the bottom of it.
