cheeto Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 So I want to update the lighting to LED on my tank but do it on a budget. I plan on keeping softies and LPS corals in my tank. Would one PAR38 over a nanocube 24 be enough light? 80* optics? I have 1 par 38 with 80 degree lenses 12" off the water and it just barely lights up the whole nc12. I don't think 1 bulb over a 29 is going to work. Link to comment
Bonus Joe Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hey for all you people who have the nano cube LED system how long do you put your daylights on for, so they don't bleach your corals, I only have softies I'm running 8 hours right now and my hammer corals love it. Link to comment

JEK-41 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hello All, Just wanted to know if any of you out there attempted a mod consisting of: - Using the Lid of a 28 gal CF and mod'ing it out to a LED canopy using Nanotuners conversion kit. I want more growth and / or the option to grow exotic corals... I am thinking about purchasing the kit.... I believe it is an upgrade when compared to the JBJ canopy LED... Please advise... any and all comments welcome. Later... Link to comment
AlanStanwyk Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I have a jbj 12 that just finished cycling. Question- Is there a nano skimmer avail that fits in one of the back chambers? Know you dont need one but Id like to have one just for peace of mind.Heard sapphire used to make one but is now out of business. Also, any LED strips similar to stunners that will fit in the canopy? Not planning on keeping SPS, but just want to add some color/shimmer to the PC's. Link to comment

Deleted User 4 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 nice jbj's u guys, here is my jbj nano cube 24 gal, it's kind of plain for now, but I will still be adding about 8 more coral colonies to this tank perhaps red, blue, orange, yellow and not green since I have too much green in there, I just don't like frags let me know what you guys think about this rock setup/landscape because I don't know why but I post this in my gallery and some1 gave me a 1/10 rating lol so I am guessing it's because of the rock setup Link to comment
rossruffino Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hey guys, Haven't "checked in" in awhile but here is a link to a new video of my tank at 4 months old. My camera really doesn't do the tank justice but I think you'll get the idea. Just yesterday finished my DIY LED retro, which I love, had 150w k2 before, this blows it away! And I just in the last three weeks started adding some SPS. Click on check out my tank below! Link to comment

dubbin1 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 very nice, love3 the scape, what type of rock is rthat? Thank You!!! I really can't answer what kind of rock it is but if you think it looks good in the picture then you should see it in person. The big rock in the center has an amazing shape to it. Link to comment
.Newman. Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I changed the FTS in my post to a more recent one Link to comment
KellyRRoberts4 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My 3G JBJ :-) Not much, but I like that tiny frags/specimens don't LOOK tiny! BTW, love the other tanks in this! Gives me something to aspire to!!! Link to comment

lpsouth1978 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Here is a more recent shot of my 3g pico. This pic was taken a little over a week ago. Been running for about two months now and is slowly being stocked. Link to comment
JEK-41 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 here is a shot of mine....... 5 months young. last night I moved some things around and added a few more corals... I will update FTS later tonight. Link to comment
cdance Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Just ordered 2 BoostLED PAR30 bulbs (3 royal blue 2 cool white leds). So excited... I'll post pics when I get them set up! Link to comment
Barryrey Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 They now have some nice lamp clamps, although they are on back order. I have on of the 4/1 bulbs on a 7 gallon rimless pico, like the looks and the corals seem to be doing fine for the last six months. Link to comment
wdubosemsp Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 My 28g LED Nanocube as it sits today... I'm running out of room so I am expanding to an additional tank(24"x24"x12" rimless). Link to comment
Barryrey Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Updated pics of my NC28. Unfortunately lost all my fish to a case of marine ich. The corals are all doing great. Pictures taken with my wife's Nikon Coolpix S8100. Pretty powerful little camera. Link to comment
sjnovakovich Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Jumped into the JBJ world last night. I got a 28 advanced LED setup, eShopps protein skimmer, and a Koralia 1050. Lot's of stuff to get before its up an running. I'll start a build thread when I get going. How do you get the JBJ Owners Club logo in your signature? Steve Link to comment
lilj104 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 question to all the JBJ owner. Does anyone have a 12g JBJ nanocube that they have upgraded? If so, i'm looking to swap out my stock pump, i've heard word about maxi-jet 900. Is it a good one for that size tank, or is it too powerful? What else can I do to upgrade the back of the tank system? Link to comment
