New JBJ 28 gallon HQI opinion

[edoday]

Hi all,

I'm new to the hobby and the forum and am trying to select a nano tank. Does anyone have an opinion on the new JBJ 28 gallon HQI that's coming out soon? Any other favorites in that size range?

Thanks very much for your input.

Ed

well ED, i dont own a nanocube but from what i have read and know, that specific set-up is more of an moderate to advanced system. for a beginner i would really start off with a basic NC, PC lighting will suite your needs fine at first. HTH

What kind of corals are you planning on keeping? That is one of the first considerations you need to address before looking for a tank since some of the equipment and especially your lighting needs will depend on the animals you are trying to keep.

Thanks for the responses

Thank you for your input. I'm still reading/studying about this hobby, so I don't want to limit my future options by having to decide the type of corals or other animals I may learn about and want to keep. I'd rather spend the extra money know and buy a system that would provide for the most options. Does that make any sense?

How do you feel the JBJ 28 gallon HQI would compare to other nano tanks?

Thanks again.

I haven't seen the 28 gallon in my area yet. I have seen the Aquapods (24 gallon) that are available in either a 70 watt or 150 watt MH and I do like them alot. The light they use is available seperately as a Current SunPod.
I have a JBJ 6 and a 12 gallon tank but both of them are lit by PC lighting so there really is no way to adequately compare them.
