Aquapod vs. JBJ
I am thinking about getting a 12g nano and I was wondering which one everyone thought was better and why.

Also if I got the JBJ then I would be getting the DX.

I prefer the cleaner look of the JBJ. I have only good things to say about my 24g!

I have one of each. I prefer the stock AP over the JBJ. I did get an upgraded hood from nanocustoms for my JBJ and now it's MUCH better. Even with the extra lights it still runs cooler than the AP (temp is constant 82).

Why do you like the AP over the JBJ DX? Is it just bc of the lighting or is there something else?

In all the Aquapod threads I have read their is always an issue of overheating with the stock lighting. I would defiantly consider a biocube though by Oceanic, as they make tanks unlike JBJ and current who make lights. The biocube comes in 8, 14, and 29 if im not mistaken.

What is the temp of your tanks? And what type do you have?

How about some reasons as to why you all chose the one you did?

Did aq quick google but couldn't find someone who sells the oceanic bio-cubes. Mosty ebay auctions. Happen to know who/where to get them?

It looks like several companies out there are going to make the nano cube and jbj voting a waste of time because they are putting out better products.......I love competition.

Look, your not buying a new car or house here. People will simply recommend whatever they happen to have. I have several JBJ but would go with the new Oceanic biocube which ups the gallonage to 29. All these tanks work just fine and all can be modified in the same way. Just go get one already.

I know its not like I am buying a car but I don't like buying something only to wind up wishing I had gotten something else. It's called research...it's what people do before they just go blindly buy something.

I have a JBJ NC 12DX but I modded it with extra lights, a fuge light, changed fans, put the moonlights on their own circuit and installed a new heat shield from Nanocustoms. I run it with a Neptune Systems AQ Jr and I like it. It runs very quiet with a Minijet 606 pump and Hydorflo.

I'd go with the oceanic bio cube, I have one its really nice...another sidenote is that I had the JBJ until it cracked for NO reason at all. I heard the red sea tank isn't going to be good anyway (crappy skimmer and the "T5" lighting isn't anyhting good. Also, it has built in holes for a chiller becuase the lighting is going to overheat it and they know it will. I got my bio cube from www.marinesolutionsinc.com, they aren't on the website but call and he'll tell you about it.

the reason you cant find anyone selling them online is because the official release date has been pushed back until mid to late september. The ones available thru ebay are the first run of the tanks. Basically "prototypes". I was going to order one but figure there must be some kinda issue with that first batch to have the release put on hold for two extra months. And anyone that bought the first production run of nanocubes can tell you they probably would have waited un hindsight duie to the glass breakage issues with the 05 models.

Someone on nano reef in the all-in-one tank subforum has a 20 gallon glass M-tank and he really likes it but they discontinued it and are coming out with a glass 29 or something. I would personally go with that if you could find one. You can find the thread here, http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...howtopic=93680 , and the guy talks about where he got it and who to call I think.

They didn't discontinue the M-Tank made of glass - not sure about the rounded corners made of glass, I think they went to the squared corners - I just picked one up today, pretty jazzed about it.
