    JBJ Nano Arctica

    What would be wiser to use, the MJ1200 or Rio1400? Also, will the Rio1400 also fit into the back compartment? I guess I could check with jbj for the dimensions of compartment 3.

    JBJ Nano Arctica

    Just made a phone call to the company that makes the chiller and got some advice. They said I could purchase a maxijet 1200 water pump, which would be ok to have 1 pump in the tank. This would sit in compartment 3, then through tubing/J tube/tubing go to the nano chiller. Then from the nano...

    JBJ Nano Arctica

    I (impulsively) purchased the JBJ Nano chiller, which may turn out to be ok. It looks like I need to go and purchase the tubing, along with the appropriate pieces to attach to the ends of the tube that go into a tank, and a powerhead. I'm not sure if the pump in my tank is strong enough to...

    12 Gallon Nanocube DX

    I talked to a guy at the fish store over the weekend regarding the calcium and alkalinity drop. Since I was adding both supplements at the same time, he thinks they may be cancelling each other out (i.e. when calcium goes up, alkalinity goes down; when alkalinity goes up, calcium goes down)...

    JBJ Nano Arctica

    Thank you, Chas! Looks like I've got a little of a challenge with my closed top (attached hood), but I will see what I can come up with. My friend who gave the tank is quite handy, so hopefully the two of us can come up with a good set up. I've ordered the JBJ Nano Artica (impulsive...

    JBJ Nano Arctica

    Hi. I'm thinking of purchasing a JBJ Nano Arctica (1/15 hp nano artica chiller) for my 12 gallon JBJ Nanocube. Can someone please illustrate how this would be set up in the nanocube? It appears that the hood only has a small hole for the powerhead electric cord. Would drilling and cutting be...

    6 gallon Tru Vu evolution...

    How are the JBJ Nano Chillers? And where would you place the in-take and out-take tubes in the tank? Would this be placed in the back of the nanocube? If so, additional cuts will need to be made into the hood to accomodate the tubes?

    Aiptasia?

    I moved the piece closer to the glass and snapped a new picture. Hope it helps with the ID.

    12 Gallon Nanocube DX

    Just uploaded the newest arrangment in my tank. Added a new piece of live rock and a colony of polyps. Hope they grow!

    Aiptasia?

    What LPS? It's difficult to get a picture, since the tentacles are clear. The tentacles are able to retract into a base piece (kind of like how a feather duster can) that is fused with the rock. I guess it is safe to assume that it is not an anemone because this thing is permanent and not...

    12 Gallon Nanocube DX

    I've been doing 10% water changes once a week using the pre-made salt water that I buy from the LPS that comes in 4.5 gallon containers. I don't mix my own salt water, as it is a small tank. When I do the water changes, I add in purple up, vitamin C (5 drops), C balance, reef builder, reef...

    12 Gallon Nanocube DX

    Here's my 1 month old 12 gallon Nanocube DX. I recently inherited this tank and some pieces of live rock, leather back coral, mushroom corals, star polyps, red hermit crab, and a few starfish from my neighbor (he upgraded to a 24 gallon). After about 3 weeks of letting the tank stabilize and...

    Aiptasia?

    Hi. Could someone please confirm if this is an Aiptasia? This has been in my 12 gallon nanotank since I started it almost 2 months ago (I inherited the tank and a few leftover pieces of live rock, corals, polyps, etc. from a neighbor who upgraded to a 24 gal). It has not caused harm as far as...
