not quiet sure but was wondering if this was any good i want to move frags of my hard to get palys and zoos in thier in case something happens to the mother colonies in my main tank
 
Hey Sandy - I have the DX with 48w. My zoas always seemed to do well with that amount of light, the filtration in it sucks and the water flow is poor. I think nearly any tank that size needs to be 'modded' to get it up to snuff. I ended up putting a little power head in there to increase the flow, but in a tank that size the powerhead looks kinda clunky. They do make a decent skimmer for it now (I have the fission, don't even bother), the new one I think is better.

Other than that, the only complaint I can really think of it it gets hot in the summer. I ended up having to leave the flip lid open in the summer to keep the water from reaching 84+ degrees, and then my sixline jumped out.

They do make chiller mods that go into the hood, have you looked at nanotuners.com?

The jbj isn't a bad little tank, but the extra cost you may put into modding it (adding a skimmer and flow, and chiller for temp problems) may warrent buying a little more expensive one off the bat. This one looks groovy:

Also, at nanotuners you can order the tank with the hood already modded to different specks, so you can get increase light, chiller built into the hood, etc.

Yeah, I tried my luck with the nanocube and the Aquapod and hate them both but that is just me. Like I said my friends Nanocube was AWESOME. After looking at hers for months I decided to give it a try. I had the 12 gal, then I bought a 30 cube, then I bought an Aquapod (hate this one worse than the JBJ nanocube) and now I have bought a 90 gal.
