WOW, right on with all the information and detail in your posts. Love the Monti Cap, it is definately one of my favorite type of encrusting stonies. Looking good so far and Happy Holidays

? about tunze skimmer
Thanks for all the informative posts on your jbj 28g hqi system. Does the tunze skimmer interfere with the waterflow out of the nano cube? It looks like the skimmer blocks the overflow.
Thanks in advance Steve |

I have followed your set up, and it looks great. Thank you for all the information, it has been very informative.
I have a 12 gallon jbj with the Nanotuners 70 watt MH, and dual 18 watt actinik mod. It works great although I have an algae problem. The glass is constantly growing green alge, so I am looking into a fix. I was thinking of a calcium reactor and a uv sterilizer. What is your thought, and how do you like yours? Is your Precion Marine calcium reactor an Effluent Chamber? How is your UV Sterilizer working, is it to much? I was thinking of a 5 watt sterilizer. Thannk you for your help, Adam |

No to address your algae issue. I personally would not recommend incoporating a Calcium Reactor within your setup. Since it will not assist at this point in removing unwanted nuisance algae. Algae usually starts to rear it's head which their are increased amounts of nutrients and particular chemicals that is feeds of present in the water column. Why don't you answer these questions for me and we can go from this new point. 1. Are you utilizing RO/DI Freshwater to use for your Synthetic Sea Salt mixtures? 2. What schedule are you following for your water changes? 3. What photo-period are you exposing your Nano Aquarium to? 4. What feeding schedules and amounts are you following? 5. What chemicals are you dosing? 6. Are you using any methods to reduce phosphates and are you testing for phosphates? 7. What type of nuisance algae is growing within your aquarium? Exmaple: Hair Algae. 8. What does you clean up crew consist of?

Thank you for the quick return. I was interested in the calcium reactor for my SPS. The sterilizer for the algae. Really the alge isn't a huge problem, just green algae on the glass. I also though t it help clear the water up as well.
1. I am using RO/DI water for mixing and top off. 2. I change 3/4 of a gallon once a week 3. I run the lighting from 12-9pm. 4.I feed the fish once a day either Spectrum thera pellets, cylopes, or mysis shrimp. About a 1/3 of a cube. 5.I use: Kent Marine Phytoplex 2 ml Kent Marine Calcium buffer part A+B 2.5 ml Salifert all in one 2.5 ml 6. I do not check for phosphates at this time. 7.The alge is just on the glass and really isn't a huge problem. 8. My clean up crew is doing a great job controling the aqua scape. Maybe I need a few morre snails. |

Are you using the Precision Marine Reverse Flow Substrate Reactor 13.5 Inch Tall? From Marine depot?

A Sad Day In My World of Reefkeeping.
I'm extremely dedicated in the maintenance required to have a thriving Nano Reef Aquarium and it is definitely heartbreaking to come across an issue directly related to a common task in the Reek Keeping hobby. I normally don't have to clean my glass of Algae but I do so just to remove even the finest film that may adhere to the Internal Pane. I use a Mag-Float Small which is rated for use on Glass Aquariums up to 30 gallons with a maximum pane thickness of 3/16 Inch. Now at the time of my cleaning my Photoperiod had ended and the damage that was created was not noticable until the next morning. When the lights came on I could see multiple abrasive marking on the Internal Pane of the Aquarium Glass. Photograph - Abrasive markings left behind after the use of my Mag-Float Algae Cleaner. After a minor breakdown of sorts I reviewed some forum searches and found that scratching Nano Aquarium Glass is more common then you would think and not isolated only the JBJ 28 gallon Nano Cube HQI Aquariums. But nothing was described to be near the level of damage that I experienced. In turn I contacted Transworld Aquatic Enterprises Inc. and advised them of the situation. I explained that the possibility for a grain or multiple grains of substrate being caught between the Internal Mag-Float and the glass could not have caused the abrasive marking since the pattern clearly depicts the bottom of the Mag-Float and that I never keep my Mag-Floats within my Aquarium. The Mag-Float is also removed after use and before use I make sure that no foreign objects exist that could possibly cause something like this. After a supervisor reviewed the photographs Transworld Aquatic Enterprises Inc. advised that they are sending me a replacement Aquarium. Which is both a blessing and a curse. It is scheduled to arrive on January 07, 2008 and I will set it up shortly after.

wow, that sucks that it happened. Thats crazy that the mag-float could even scratch the glass. My mag floats barely even cut through the algea, you'd think it'd be impossible to scratch the glass.
Glad to see that Transworld is taking care of you. |

Jason, I have to say you write some very informative entries in this thread. Also, I'm sorry to read about your recent problems with the magnet. The upside is that you were able to get everything handled and taken care of. Obviously the transition will be a slight pain, but nothing compared to a company that wouldn't work with you. So, its a semi win/win.
Thanks for all the info you've provided and I'm looking forward to seeing new additions! |

I measured the pump Section - 2 3/8 x 3 1/2
The largest pump I have found that fits the 28g NCHQI is the Rio HF6. I have these running on a short interval on my ReefKeeper2. The Ocean Pulse was causing an issue with my ATO on power ups - both pumps would come on until you reset the timing to zero and back! This was causing the back area water level to drop and trigger my ATO to dump in more water than needed. The RK2 solved this and allows me to set a longer switching interval between the pumps. I think I will order a pair of the Tunze's and see if they fit the 28g NCHQI. If they don't I can use them on my other setup.

Excellent job...Very clean, it's exactly how i want my new nano. I have a couple questions..
1. what did you use to attach that monti cap to your LR? 2. Did you use anything to join the LR together? As in like building the aquascape(glue, clay, etc.) Sorry about those scratches, you were just about to stock it : (

damn, sorry about the scratches. talk about taking the wind out of your sails. on a lighter note, I bought my girlfriend a 24 dx this christmas, and she mentioned getting a mag float cleaner. ill make sure she doesn't, sooo you may have saved her tank!
