I was thinking the same thing. I'll wait until things clear a bit and I'll see what I can do.

and what kind of light are in the hood? pc right? what kinds of anemone will you be able to keep with the lighting. i think if that was something i could buy that i could actually leave the way it is for once then i would look into buying one..

is that a good setup? if so where can i buy?

[ScruffyRubicon]

It came with 48 watts of PC. There is an upgrade kit for MH but I am hoping that the PC will do it. The anemone is a Red Bubble Tipped. I had it in my old 75g tank under PC and it was much further from the light. It looked about the same under my 250w MH.

I'm very happy with it so far. The quality seems good. The seams are well sealed and very clean looking.

[ScruffyRubicon]

I bought mine at my LFS but you can get them just about anywhere.

I had a 24 gallon. Liked it but liked the oceanic biocube I got better!

[ScruffyRubicon]

I got the one I did because it was on sale for $139. Tonight it was up to $179. They normally sell it for $199. Couldn't pass it up.

What is the differences with the Oceanic?

so the oceanic is better?

[JY13131]

OK! They are both good! The ONLY difference is that I had to use a little skimmer thingy doohikey with the nano and not the biocube. The JBJ got some film at the top of the water sometimes, kind of like a slick. NO BIG DEAL and the doohikey worked great

[ScruffyRubicon]

I think the flow is a bit on th elow side. That probably accounts for the film. It could really use a slightly faster pump.

I upgraded my pump but it didn't make a difference. You have to get that thing that goes over the intake grate, you know what I mean? It works great and it won't be a problem
