frankn88 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi, I'm thinking about getting a nano-glo for my 28G JBJ QuadCF. I searched old posts and lots of references to Stevie's "hang-in" or submersible, but not on his site anymore? Hate to spend $70 or so on a fuge light... any recent discoveries of submersibles that work? Thanks! Link to comment
northstar1357 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 i have a nano-glo from JBJ on the back of my NC 12. I think that the performance will decrease overtime, not the light but rather coraline aglae taken over my back chamber and i cant get my hand in there to clean it. really frustrating. but it does work just dont put it in space where your hand cant reach to clean the glass afterward.

StevieT Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Put a razor blade on a stick. You can use aquamend or other putty like you use for corals to attach Link to comment

I bought the jbj nanoglo for my BC29 and it is a nice alternative to a diy fuge light if you are as lazy as I am. Link to comment
DaJMasta Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've got one for my 24g nano cube and one in an aquaclear 50 converted to a fuge. They're nice lights, but they aren't extremely powerful - 4W of LED light. It's plenty to grow chaeto, but I keep my display tank lights on a fair bit and the fuge macro certainly isn't getting enough light to starve the display algaes completely. Link to comment
frankn88 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Went to Lowes yesterday and found a 20w xenon puck light for $10. Taped it to the back of the tank. Puts out plenty 'O light! I'll have to keep an eye on the heat in the summer though I suppose. Thanks! Link to comment
