Iveman Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 i got started with mini reefs on a 1/2 gal red sea deco art tank. its ok but i want to add more corals so its time for a larger tank. now i LOVE the nano set up, but im not sure if i should go with a 6 or 12. i dotn want larger than 12 thats for sure. but ive seen some that are as low $99 for a 12 gal and other that are over $150. whats the dif between the nano 6, 12, and 12 deluxe? any stories or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Jermz79 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 My Nano is fine man as well as many others I know. I think it's a hit or miss with the crack issue. Also the 12 gallon tanks have a lower crack rate than the 24 gallon because they used the same glass in all models and of course the 24 is bigger so the glass is stretched thinner! If I were you I would go with the 12 gallon Deluxe model over any of the others. It's perfect space and lighting for a nice Mini-Reef! Just my 2 cents! Link to comment

Might want to check out the Finnex M-Tank. It's acrylic though. I have a Jalli (or ASM) 30g cube that is very nice... Link to comment
Arklier Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Nanocubes crack and break....Id look into a small custom cube All glass tanks can crack and break. I had an AGA 10 gallon split right across the back. The 12G Nano Cubes have never had a huge problems with cracking. It's only the 24Gs that had the problem, which has supposedly been fixed for the 2006 model year cubes. Link to comment
skripo Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I don't want to start bashing anyone but I am sick of people shooting off their mouths when JBJ comes up. The only tank that had a recognoized issue was the older 24G JBJ. The 6 and 12 have been as, or more, reliable than any other tank of similar bent glass construction. If you want to buy a tank that is barely competitive with JBJs old generation tanks, has electrical wiring problems, a recently revealed heat issue with fluorescent lighting, and thinner glass, go ahead and buy an Aquapod. If you want one hell of a kick ass tank with an amazing hood, a plethora of lighting and other upgrades, get the Nanocube. I recommend the 12DX with the Nanocustoms 4.24 upgrade for coral keeping.
