Anybody have a fuge on a jbj nanocube?

Does anyone here have a fuge on their nanocube? and how did you set it up?

[Meercat_Maric]

If your looking to get a fuge on your nano - try an AquaClear filter. Easiest solution to the real thing.

 

I have had my AC500 setup now for about a week, and she's running strong still. i just added my Chaeto to the mix and im gonna let it sit for another couple of weeks before I add any real life other than the snails in there now.

I am in the process of building one on mine, but instead of the hang on route, i'm building myself a new stand which will house a 5 gal fuge in it.

rabbi2153 how are you going to plumb it? could you post a drawing or something?

[rabbi2153]

just going to use a simple 1/2 siphon to bring the water down, and a ~300 gph pump to bring it back up(about 4 ft high). I'll set up some kind of check system to make sure, that neither the fuge overflows or the tank. Nothing complex. Might possibly use the stock JBJ pump instead of a siphon and hook a float switch up to it instead, havent sat down and worked that out yet, still building my stand.

rabbi2153 I was thinking about the same thing as that, but I can't figure out how to make a check system so that it doesn't overflow. what are you going to use as a check?

 

hey Meercat_Maric why the aquaclear? and did you end up cutting the lid to make it fit?

i use a power head to pull water OUT of the tank. if power shuts off this can cause a backflow so you need to pay close attention to how much water can flow back. best way is to make sure the PH outflow breaks syphon as soon as possible.
