milesOreef's JBJ Nano Cube 28 HQI

milesOreef · Apr 29, 2013

I figured I would start a build thread so I could see how things start to progress. This tank has been running since Jan,2013. I had started with a regular 10g tank and wanted to get a little more serious with the reef keeping so I sold all of my freshwater besides my daughters 10g dwarf frog tank, and bought this tank used! Thanks for looking and any advice or help would be great!!!

I cut the clear tubes to better fit in the skimmer chamber still have to work on the return one with the T fitting so I can open the hood a bit more.

Awesome! I think that I'm going to get a LED retrofit for my 28g nanocube too! Great job!

Alf · Aug 5, 2013

Nice cube! Love mine right now! But I'm looking to upgrade pretty soon... Plan on keeping the cube as a frag tank.
