I couldn't find any dimensions on it but it looks like it would work. As far as salt I'm using Redsea coral pro. It seems ok but i have heard good things about Fritz RPM salt. I ordered a small bag to try once I'm out of this Redsea. Did you nanobox come in yet? Im a little jealous....that is one nice light Nope, i haven’t ordered one yet. Going to read and watch some reviews about the icecap ‘tmc’ ato and the pacific sun sentry ato. If i could find fritz rpm salt here that would me my top choice! Haven’t received my nanobox yet, i think it isn’t even shipped. Asked for info on monday but Dave is a bussy man running his one man show. No stress i have had pacience for over 4 years before i ordered one . 1 Quote Link to comment

I, too have the same stand, and it is definitely sturdy enough for the IM 10. However, avoid getting salt water seeping into the seams of the shelf. Over time, it will soak up the cardboard material within the core and cause it to crumble. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ryebreadiest Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Could the stand be painted or coated with something to seal it? 1 Quote Link to comment

Thx for the info, going to try to avoid spilling any water on the cabinet. I will always use lots of towels!

Rory282 Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 So my Nanobox arrived, what a great beautiful light! It just looks so perfect over my fusion 10. I waited a really really long time for this moment. Been going back and forth for like 4 years on pulling the trigger on one of these. what a beauty! These are the extras Dave gave to me. Nice wood and acrylic lid for free . So i turned it on and man i was stunned! What a beautiful light. Really pleased with my purchase! Dave makes fantastic looking lights that’s for sure! The only thing i have to get used to is the fan noise. It’s a little bit louder is a tought it was going to be. But with a 9 months old baby around there is noise in my living room almost all the time . Just one question, how do i switch off the light? Unplug it or can i use the app? 4 Quote Link to comment
VaporCountry Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Hell yea thats awesome. The nanobox lights look so nice, love the design and ascetics. Im setting up a 30L and really would like one but is out of my budget. Was thinking about maybe DIY a light. When do you plan to get things rolling along? Did you decided on an ATO yet?

My daughters first birthday is on 02/02/2018. I’m planning to buy her a clownfish as one of her presents. So next week i’m buying salt and adding water to it so it can cycle for a couple of months. Planning to buy everything else on black friday including the ato. Think i’m going for the tunze 3155. 1 Quote Link to comment

Check if there is excess wire that’s touching/hitting the fan blade. If so, try to tease it out of the way. That was the cause of fan noise on my NBR, I have the old body quad. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kellie in CA Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I've had a couple of fans go bad in mine over the years and they got pretty loud. But straight out of the box the noise shouldn't be very noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well the sound is noticeable, it’s not ratteling or something but i can hear it ramp up and down if it’s on 80% and pretty loud when it’s on 90%. Quote Link to comment
