Hello everyone, names Daniel. I'm completely new to saltwater and reefs all together. I wanted to start with a big tank but my wife decided she really liked the nano tanks. So now i have a used jbj 28 gallon nano cube (really not happy with the rear chambers). After some reaserch I went out and bought the equipment i wanted/needed which is as follows:
hydor rotating return heads
reef octopus hob classic 1000 skimmer
jbj auto top off with aqua lifter pump
eheim jager 100watt heater
jebao pp4 wavemakerand
kessil a160we (removed the hood all together)
20lb live sand
Seachem matrix carbon
Seachem puregen
Aquaforest life bio fil
And a good bit of dry rock.
I have a few issues already and it hasn't been cycling for 2 weeks yet.
Skimmer is pouring out tons of micro bubbles and isnt skimming, heater is set to 81 but tank wont get over 75, return pumps are making bubbles. O think i've watched every video and read almost every article I could find about various issues and still no luck. I find myself on this forum most so i joined. I'll try not to start new threads that aren't needed. So thanks for having me and any input or advice will be taken to heart.

Of course I have done such a good job, hubby wanted a 150 gal so now we have a 150 gal sitting in our tiny living room too. We are retired so I figure it's out living room and if we want tanks everywhere that's what we will have! I raise golden doodle pups in my spare time! Learning a lot from the group and enjoy all the pictures. Have several problem I want to post about when I have more time. Thanks for the great group!
