the jbj is garbage. the im is garbage, and not even sold anymore. we need an alternative to going diy. i have a biocube 32 and the options are horrible!!!
 
doesn’t come with a fuge. made my own to drop in the middle chamber that’s 6 x 3 x 8.

The new IM isn’t garbage, you know there is a new IM fuge light right?

no i didn’t. but i think i saw one that was larger than for a nano and it did t have a magnet. is this the one you’re talking about?
 
DIY is very simple to do. I will making a upflow ATS for my new im 25 Lagoon and will DIY the light. not much to it. will use 660 NM cree reds. or you could go 2 reds and one blue. for heat sinks I have used electrical plates with success. or get a cpl of the small fans type from ebay there cheap and there you go.

that said yeah I agree would be nice if someone made a very versatile light .
 
I picked up a few of those cheap to grow phyto. I just rubber band them to the side of the jars. They are small and very thin and they worked really good for that. Seem pretty good quality too...
I am going to try one on my fuge for my reefer 250.

can you post pic on how small they are? its hard to get an idea from the pics.
cheers

do you use it on a nano tank? is it right against the glass or mounted from above?
Aw crap I didn't realize you were using he back chamber :( nevermind. I misread and thought you were using entire biocube 32 as fugr LOL
 
Here is my IM chaetomax light in the middle chamber of my Waterbox.

I'm using a cheato max in my AIO back sump. I haven't seen algae in the dt since adding it .Great little light. Having everything in the back leaves room underneath for all the other junk I felt I needed... . Lol. I just run an algae scrubber (diy in pic) filter floss and eshopps 75h. Table spoon or two of carbon one a week or two. The one pic is of the algae I grew in about 2 weeks.
