!!!NWFD1725 JBJ 28GNC Finally!!!

Well i really dont know where to start but a little bit a bout me. I am a firefighter/emt-iv in middle tennessee. I have been researching for quite some time planning to get a saltwater tank. Well finally i got an appartment so i could set up my dream 75g tank only to find out i was going to be on the second floor. Which made me a little nervious so i ended up going with a Jbj 28g nano cube. Over the past bit i gathered my equpment which i will list also including many pictures along the way. Also would much appreciate advice on getting a skimmer good qaulity that will also allow me to have a refugium. I know i can with the stock jbj skimmer but would like to here some feedback on the qaulity. I have the compact flouresent lighting option which i am liking already along with the led night light which is sweet. The tank also features the ocean motion wavemaker whitch i thought was a nice touch alond with 4 fans built in the hood that comes on when the main lights are on the system it self is very quite.


Equipment
- Marco base rock
- Marco sand also
- still need the right heater got a bigger one for now
- rafractometer
-api reef test kit and api marine test kit
- selcon, marine c, and garlic extreme gonna use on my homemade fish food.
- 4 stage 75gpd rodi
- lifegaurd temp alert thermometer
- Oceanic salt mix

Needed
-skimmer input on one please
-koralia nano? input please
-Pump upgrades if yall think need
-Bulk reef supply alk/cal/mg suppliments
-Magnetic fuge light
-Auto top off input on a diy or cheap one

Pictures to come also anything i remember that i mightve left out and raw shrimp is being added now to start the cycle going to pick up a piece of live rock soon.

Also input on the back chambers and where to run things will help a lot karma for who helps.;D

 

For an ATO, I would recommend Autotopoff dot com. . . In the four years I have been on the forums I have never heard anything bad about them. Am even hoping to pick up a unit before the end of november myself.

 

An ATO by Jbj sucks hard!!! i own one This thing goes on and off ,and its loud ,your better off raising your top off tub and using a float valve .It will automaticly top off by gravity. Safe ,easy and cheap.I've should have done this in the first place.
