02tahoelt Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hey Everyone, I have 28g NC that started as a Quad bulb thing, it's currently a HQI with Nano tuners 2.18 upgrade. But now am having problems with the HQI cutting off and on, I purchased the 4 new fans, but all the screws have rusted to death, has this happened to anyone, and what have you used for it not to happen again? Brass screws? Stainless steel screws? Bronze screws? Aluminum screws? And also what size and thread? Have ordered a New plastic cover from JBJ, because am going to have to break the plastic cover to try to remove the rusted screws Any suggestions, would be awesome Thank You Bump Link to comment
reefcreature84 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Bump Aluminium doesn't rust, it still oxidizes but it will just get a little crustier. Link to comment
JEK-41 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I know quite a few people have had BTAs in a nanocube. Ive never heard of one getting caught in the overflow. Anemones release some sort of toxins in a tank when they die. I dont know if any toxins were released in this case because of it being a quick death but I would do a water change asap. Thanks for the info.... I do believe it released it's toxins based on my lemonpeel and half black & white went from being healthy fish to dead fish 2 days after the anemone got shredded but my two clown fish are perfectly fine...like nothing happened.

Bonus Joe Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 What heater is everyone using in their JBJ 28's? I would like to get a Jager because it sounds like to most reliable, but I am concerned about the length. Ideally I think I'd need at least a 100w, but is that too long for the heater chamber? Would a Jager 75w be enough? Thoughts? Link to comment

Bonus Joe Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Sounds good. Thanks Barry! Link to comment
ctbehm Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I use a 100w Via Aqua and it fits perfect. Link to comment

I ended up having the devil of a time trying to replace the HQI bulb. Stainless steel is the only way to go. I think they are No.10 size. I wrote to JBJ a couple of times asking about replacement screws and they were unable to help. Try a marine (boat) supply store. Link to comment

JEK-41 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 So I just stuck 2 Maxijet 1200's in my 28 Nano Cube to increase flow and they are loud as heck. Anyone have similar problems with their 28 and if so how'd ya fix it? I run the stock pumps w/ a Nano 240 gph Korilla.... Tanks been up for 2 months.... I have had zero problems. A picture is 2 above this post... I have multiple SPS, LPS, Mushrooms, and other Softy's.... Anemone, Scooter Blenny and multiple types of Snails and Hermits.... Everything is growing fine....note the lighting is a CF. I am very happy with the setup.. I dose my Kent Coral-Vite once a week and dose my 2 part Bionic everyother day 10ml... My SPS corals are growing great, I actual found a piece of a Birdsnest that broke off a month ago, that was shaded out in the back of the tank with no direct light and still had poylps on it, so I glued it up top and it's doubled in size.. I would sell them on ebay and use the stock ones... but I'm a New "Salty" .. What do I know ? Later... Link to comment
geezers11 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Have a 5 month old 28g JBJ LED tank. Recently, have found some cyano creeping around the back of the tank. Tried syphoning it out, but it comes back--its also starting in the front. Have two separate island landscape. Water parameters appear fine. 0 Phosphates, <.05 Nitrates, 400 Ca, 8.2 alk, 1300 mg, 1.024 salinity. I change out 5 gallons per week with RO/DI and salt mix and feed once per day New Life Spectrum pellets. I hear many of you run both pumps simultaneously for increased flow. If I fill the back high enough so micro bubbles don't appear, I'm afraid it will overflow when turning off pumps to feed. Suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks much. Link to comment
JEK-41 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I fill mine up so that my waterline with both pumps on is about 3/4" below the filter and pump partition wall. I made a mark on the back glass and another mark about 5-6" below that so I know when to top off... seems to be working great.. Branching Frog Spawn Branching Hammer Branching Torch Green Slimmer ORA Purple Valida ORA Staghorn ORA Green Birds Nest Zoa's Emerald Crab Scooter Blenny Multiple Hermits Multiple types of Snails Long Tip Anemone All my stuff seems to be doing fine under my CF lighting, may I add that I am looking into a LED mod. and if I can't do that I plan on changing my CF bulbs every 6 months.

Waiting to have the water line drop 4" seems like it would lead to a big sway in salinity levels? Link to comment
