skimmerdude Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I really want to buy a nanocube. The nanccustoms tanks with upgraded lighting look pretty good. I don't have the time or the space right now to start an involved DIY project and the nanocustoms tanks look to be a good fit. I still have some concerns about the tanks cracking, I would be interested in a 12g 4.24 dx. I have not heard of any cracks recently on this forum (for the last few weeks). What is the general thought about them right now? I am on the fence, it just kills me to think of a nanocube with $$$ for upgrades and livestock cracking. Anyone care to talk me in or out of making a purchase. Thanks (I have quite a bit of experience with a tank that is 30g, but I am new to anything smaller) Link to comment

I was pretty nervous with all the bad press. I filled it today with freshwater to test it and had no problems. It was born 12/05 with moonlights and thicker glass. I peeled back the cover on the second compartment to use as a fuge. Ready to start her up... Link to comment
doncb Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Well, I've got a '05 24g DX (1 year old today!) and I love it. I haven't heard of any real problems w/ the '06 models. Most of the cracking on the older models were the 24g's. I don't think cracking was ever a problem w/ the 12's. I'd say go for it. We have ours in the living room where we can enjoy it.

RayWhisperer Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Welcome to N-R.com Skimmer and Miami. I still have some concerns about the tanks cracking, I would be interested in a 12g 4.24 dx. I have not heard of any cracks recently on this forum (for the last few weeks). What is the general thought about them right now?

I'd say to be entirely sure, you'd need to wait atleast a year. Having said that, I'm w/ Doncb, I've got a 05 24 DX set up for about 8 or 9 months, no problems, aswell as a few old 12 OG's, and 1 12 DX, all fine... You could go the Aquapod route, or try the new Oceanic cube. My guess is they will all be about the same. I haven't seen the new Oceanic's personally yet, but I'm not too fond of the Aquapod(personal pref, nothing more). I've only heard of one 24 DX cracking so far. Link to comment
