Scott Riemer Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 IMO, the Aquapod 24 gallon, 150W HQI Metal Halide System is a better deal. $339.99 But the NanoCube 28HQI has it's fans also. Link to comment
13angels Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 its nice but the nano cube includes a tank stand and protein slimmer. Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 its nice but the nano cube includes a tank stand and protein slimmer. Hope they've increased the quality of the stands they build because I'd never put a tank on the ones they used to sell with the NanoCube 24. Look at this thread: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...=171999&hl= Sounds like people go with a different skimmer than what comes with it. Link to comment
Cytosol Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I purchased a JBJ28 at $699 CAD and that is a wicked price, I would definitely recommend it especially since it comes with the stand. The stand is not of very good quality, but it is just asthetic problems (bad paintjob on the wood). I have no worries about its ability to hold up my tank for a couple years, however. Link to comment
speedbump Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 $500 is pretty standard for the tank and stand. several places offer the package deal now. the stand is not super wonderful IMO. i added some bracing to the inside and then bolted it to the wall with 1/4" steel brackets for lateral support incase of quakes or bumps.

iFISTmoose Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I dislike the shape. Its deeper than it is wide; who the hell designed it? imo the aquapod is the best deal. Link to comment
viinse Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 JBJ 28 stand is fine. There is the possibility of heat issues so you may have to purchase a chiller. I have JBJ 28 HQI but if purchasing again I would consider the aquapod too. Link to comment

WhiteShark Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Be careful with heat issues with this tank due to the metal halide.... Link to comment
cezarnano Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Be careful with heat issues with this tank due to the metal halide.... ive seen someone use the feet for lights to lift the hood 4". i was considering that if heat is an issue Link to comment
SamK Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well, if you don't need the stand or are willing to buy separately, $499 will get you improved lighting (actinic add-on) from nanotuners.com. Link to comment
vanisher Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Where are these deals on the aquapods? I'm seeing much higher in price when I look at nanocustoms.. Link to comment
