Daniel's JBJ frag cube

Daniel@R2R · Nov 12, 2013

I'm setting up a frag tank with the nano I won from the nano in 90 competition.

I'll be using the nano for a frag grow out/frags for sale tank. I'll also be putting new fish for the display here for observation for a couple of months before adding them to the display.

Here's the stand in progress.

A week later, and I've only managed to stain the stand...

I added a WP-10 which has definitely added flow...almost too much! LOL

awesome little setup, What kind of LEDS are under the hood?

Daniel@R2R · Jan 29, 2014

They're stock. I think they're CREE's but I wouldn't swear to it.

Mostly low end stuff for now. Trying to see how this thing's gonna work out before growing anything serious in there. So it's a couple of digi frags, some monti and poci, zoa and mushrooms on the bottom. I have a cool little zoa frag in there that looks like a Japanese zoa (the variety...not the location)...like a neon watermelon with yellow splotches on the oral disk, and some mystic monti frags...those are probably the nicest things I've got in there.

That's actually a SUPER price. Was it used? This one (the 24g LED model) retails for close to $400...and doesn't come with a skimmer.

Cool. Didn't know aquatop made them. Might be worth checking out.

Only modification I made really was to silicone over all of the exposed screws in the hood. I've read horror stories of those rusting out and actually dripping into the water, so I figured I'd get that taken care of before it had a chance to happen. Only other thing I did was to build a media basket out of egg crate.
