JBJ 12G Nano Cube

Saw this at the lfs today, anyone have one?
They are a nice little setup with a built-in wet/dry and PC lamp. And it's a cube! Did I mention it was only $99.00 at the store?

The only negative is the intake is under the water line - no surface skimming. But man, $99!

Looks pretty nifty for a little nano set-up! Verry nice indeed!

Is your water in the sump area different levels? My water in my nano cube is level all the way across and there's no wet/dry activity. Everything's submersed in water...bio balls and all . Is this normal?? Everything's connected correctly. Thanks, Greg

pretty cool. except for the filter this setup rocks eh?

Reiple it's not bad for the money at least IMO. I've seen similar setups complete with good skimmers but they cost twice as much.

That doesn't sound normal Greg. Perhaps you have too much water in it? That's my first guess. Take out a pint and see what happens. What do the instructions say?

Matt, thanks for the feedback...I didn't think that sounded normal either. I'll try your suggestion and see what happens. I love the nano cube. I wish it skimmed the surface though. Thanks, Greg

Matt, Just spoke to JBJ and they said normal for water to be level all the way across? I guess it's not a true drip wet/dry like I thought but great little tank. Just thought I'd post in case others had the same question. Take Care, Greg Lewis

WTF! Why on earth would they make it that way? That doesn't make sense! ???

The directions leave a lot to be desired too. They just say 'fill with water' - that's it!

Every other one I have seen or worked on had a true wet/dry. I still can't believe this Greg. This can't be right. I still say do an experiment with less water. [smiley=uneasy.gif]
