    I have the JBJ and like it. I also run the Tunze 9002 - you just have to cut the magnets off and replace the collection cup with the InTank version. The only other feedback that I'd provide is to look into an ATO. My Tunze is very water level sensitive and it doesn't take long for evaporation to have an impact in a nano.

    I also run Chaeto in the back with a Ecoxotic Stunner Strip taped vertically. Easy, cheap, and effective.

    If no ATO, then just be sure to check it every other day or so...

    Good luck.

    JBJ LED Pro is up and running. So far I love it! The LEDS have a great shimmer to them. Have a couple of pictures. If I can figure out how to upload...

    Yes, Very happy! The lighting is wonderful! Cant believe the shimmer you get. Now its time to play the waiting game... which is going to be the hardest. Probably wont add fish for about 2 months. Have a wedding coming up and spending a week in Mexico and just dont trust anyone to keep them for 10 days.

    Would you say a little clean up crew in 3 weeks and maybe 1st corals in about a month??

    That all depends on your water chemistry and whether you used live rock or dry rock.

    For sure fish in about 2 months.

    All I can say is they look great! Will keep everyone posted in the next several months how much the corals like them. My guess is the corals are going to like as much if not more than I do.

    Let it do it's thing, go to Mexico, and then tackle it head on then. I'm sure by the time you get back, you will need a few snails and hermits. congratz on the sweet setup!
