Hwarang, so you put all wiring and ballast between reflector and splash guard? I tried cramming both my 24w ballast and all wiring under the nano reflector. Even with two fans in the back, one ballast burned out from heat and the splash guard began to warp under that light. Bad light/ballast...

In it is. Since the fans are on an adjustable converter, and I already have two hooked up, I'm going to go with both on lowest setting. I'll let you know if it works. Yes, 4/2 should be a really fun day in moviedom.

I am adding another light to my nanocube, and two computer case fans. What is the best direction to point the fans, blow out or blow in? Thanks fo rthe help.

Did you epoxy it into place or just let the water hold it there?

I do two small water changes each week so there has not been a need for top-offs.

I had equally great help with JBJ. When I first got my cube the pump rattled loud enough to hear it in the next room. They sent out a new pump that same day.

I highly recommend NanoCube. Customer support is A+.

I have three Astrea snails, 5 bubmble bee snails, 3 scarlet hermits, 2 tiny cleaner shrimp and 2 tiny peppermint shrimp.

Good lord, that's a good looking tank.

Yeah, another nanocuber! Hwarang got me motivated to add some extra lights after looking at pics of his amazing cube. I ordered another hood with the works from JBJ so I could make most of the mods before taking the top away from tank. 48w should be enough light. I am also adding moonlight...

I've had 3 feather dusters since the beginning of December 2003 and have never fed them directly (I do put phytoplankton into the tank twice each week). They all seem extremely healthy. I put two in the sand next to LR and they attached to the rock within about a week. No epoxy necessary...

Well, just got back from the LFS. I took the old saltwater back for exchange. I got some Oceanic salt mix and some RO. Any recommendations on RO filters?

Fantastic clam! I've recently been looking into getting a clam and now a new high end standard has been established.

What is the best way to go on saltwater? Lately, all of the saltwater from the LFS has had nitrate levels of at least 12.5 mg/l straight from the container. At the bottom of the containers I always find sand and crap where it looks like others have done water changes into the container and not...

In my nano I've been using a small battery operated blue LED that was a Bud Light promo necklace. I'm wanting to convert to something that uses electricity but gives off the same amount of light. I'm going through a ton of batteries.
