!!!NWFD1725 JBJ 28GNC Finally!!!

also anybody know anything about led light 5.6 from nano tuners made for the jbj nano cube called them about it said it would be around the equivelent to 150 watt mh thinking about getting it and a sapphire skimmer for it please comment and tell me what ya ll think

 

haven't heard about the led fixture but nice looking tank !

 

thanks

 

My Tanks cycle has ended my ammonia and nitrite hit 0 both tonight such a good sight i will pick up a pair of clowns friday night after i check all my other paramaters tom. Also should i do a water change first and clean my sponges or what. IF not then when should i also, when should i add my cuc going with reefcleaners custom package that he put together for me. Please comment

 

anybody?

 

I would probably do a water change and clean everything out if it were me, but I would probably also give it another week or so, no need to rush things. Seeing no ammonia/nitrites on the test kit is the first indication of the initial nitrogen cycle ending but the tank is still pretty young. JMO

 

Still on the list of stuff i plan on getting
5.6 led lighting from nano tuners
mp10 power head
Auto top
Sapphire skimmer

my media reactors should be here either tom or monday
also my carbon and cal,mag,and kalk suppliments came in and i got two timers and a 12 outlet powerstrip

 

i mean i'm all for being patient and not rushing but c'mon... put some fish in there already!

it's just a lil biocube! no need to stress, it's not like he's got anything in there but rock anyways, a pair of clownfish are like 50 bucks... they aren't going to die...

i think sometimes people get a little too uptight about these things...

you've been super patient and done everything textbook... you're more than ready for fish IMO! if you wait a week nothing is going to happen between now and a week from now... you need to put fish in now so that the tank can really start to establish, which is a long journey and a week's time makes no difference really...

it takes about a year for a tank to begin to be fully established IMO... the longer you have it the better... it's a marathon not a sprint, so you're better off getting a jog in to get going!

also with respect to your list, get the protein skimmer first... you should really have that already... take it from someone who went 6 months without one... the powerhead is something you need now too.

auto top off, you don't need at all, topping off a tank taht small is simple... just have a jug of water and pour some in every 2 days... nbd.

that LED lighting is a waste of money IMO... it looks really purple and is super expensive, if you run an open top on your tank heat will not be an issue from t5's or MH (my vote).

so go get that protein skimmer and powerhead, and if you're gonna upgrade lighting don't get the LED's... the only really nice LED fixture i've seen that would be good for a nano is the ELOS light, which is just sick.. but it's like 900 bucks.

oh and i've heard bad things about the sapphire skimmer, i think the tunze 9002 will work in your tank, you might have to do a little modification, nothing difficult... but it's a really quality skimmer the sapphire is junk from what i hear... but a junk crap skimmer is 10x better than no skimmer at all.

 

they are coming out with a redesigned one that is suppose to fix the old problems thats why they are not for sale now so hopefully they will be better, also thank you for all the advice. For now ill just do water changes weekly till they come out and i am going to get a mp10 next friday when i get paid and i have a koralia nano and three for the time being and i am going to get two clowns today after work stay tuned

 

pick up two clowns tonight seem to be doing well will post pics tom also got a hammer coral and some green zoes will post all pics tom

going to try to feed them tommorow with some garlic xtreme and selcone to hopefully help them off to a good start
