teenyreef Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 By the way, Marine Depot is replacing my Nano calcium reactor with a new model. They said that although it could be repaired, they'd prefer to replace it, but it's been discontinued and they're out of stock now. I guess that explains that great price They have a whole new line called cTech, so they are sending me a cTech T-Nano reactor. It has a new design and the pump no longer connects directly to the body, so I suspect that was a design flaw they had trouble with. 3 minutes ago, Rehype said: I know right! your right ill just have to turn it into a rad biopellet or carbon reactor. I like the way you think 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, just judging from the pictures it looks like a much better design. It seems to be a scaled down version of the big boy ones. I have to say Marine Depot has always treated me right. They could just have easily just asked me to send it back for repairs. 2 Quote Link to comment

Should take up a little less room next to the sump. 1 Quote Link to comment

We moved to the PNW beginning of last year and bought a house halfway through the year. We are now trying to decide if we are setting up the cube again or if we should start from scratch with either a larger one or a pico. LOL. In the meantime, I will be drooling over your build. I cannot wait to see your awesome pics again!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
