Lighting on Oceanic 29 Biocube

muecyl · 03-17-2008, 11:09 AM

Yay, My lady friend just bought me a 29gal Nano cube by Oceanic for my Bday!!! I have been spending all morning reading about them on our site, but I have heard about lighting issues with the ballast...

SO.... Is this something I should worry about?
How many 3reefers have had issues?

Describe lighting on tank and "issues"....

I have a 12 gal nano cube with only the stock 24w lighting...and works fine for what I keep in it.

Lights burning out right away, resulting in a need to replace the ballast...
I found a few threads alone just here on 3reef...

I have also read issues on the flow of water in the filtration... I plan to get a new protein skimmer for it or possibly use the one I already have (if it fits), which from what I read eliminates these issues of proper flow.
