Hi, I just got the aforementioned set from a fellow reefer. I am letting it go because I can't mount it on my nano due to the design constraints. Willing to let it off at $140, slightly negotiable. Condition 5-6/10, driver and leds are in working condition. Please PM me your details, and I will get back to you. Thanks.

Dear all, I am looking for the aforementioned in good condition for my nano (JBJ 28G). Please PM your offers and I will get back to you. Most importantly the driver unit has to be reliable. Will appreciate any other advice as well. Thanks

Domvonn, agree with your POV. Anyone running GAC in their tanks? Or DI and GAC combination? Would like to know what is the long term effect on reef chemistry. In the whole RO/DI setup, I believe I can get away with 2 stages of charcoal and 1 stage DI resin- charcoal filter -> GAC -> DI Resin. Any advise on such a set up?

I am using a canister filter for my JBJ 28G. I lay off reefing for a few years and got back in recently. I definitely agree with the others that running a sump is a better way of managing your reef. I ran the canister filter as a fuss-free option with the JBJ. Using mostly rocks and bio-home, I can stock a little more corals and dampen any nitrate and ammonia spike together with over skimming through the MCE 600. In a home setting, what is important is reliability and peace of mind IMO. I ever used an overflow pipe in my previous setup, and was shocked to wake up one fine morning with the floor flooded.

Thanks for all the input. For my purpose, buying bottled water is sufficient. Any latest feedback on Arees services? I've looked up on the thread but can't find the cost for delivery and water.

Hi all, am intending to move to LED. Do let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I'm actually considering the total cost of ownership: RO membrane, DI resin, carbon etc. there's rejection rate for RO as well. Thus I'm thinking if GAC and DI resin is sufficient.

Hi, I'd like to ask around for advice on water quality. Is it more cost efficient to go with distilled water? How effective and economical is RO/DI unit in the long run? Because I am keeping a nano- 28G, I was thinking of using a nano GAC/DI resin unit from Madpetzl. Is this advisable? I do intend to upgrade sometime at the end of the year to a shallow 2ft cube. Thanks!

I am considering the 5 led 20000k or Tricolor PAR38 from Dr. Evil/ Madpetz.

Hi, Need some advise regarding lighting. Mainly keeping LPS and soft corals. My current lighting is a MH 150W, 200000k- kinda overkill but I like the shimmering effect, and so far my green bubble and frogspawn responds very well to it. I am thinking of using 1 PAR38 Led for my JBJ 28G, would like to know if this is sufficient. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for the aforementioned. Thanks!

I have experience with both sump and canister. I feel that for canister, I just have to be weary of the type of media, and the potential nitrate spike after maintenance. What affects my decision at the moment is: 1) Make a complete tank setup with sump and cabinet 2) Keep it simple without sump Of course there will be a significant saving for option 2, and it is sustainable for a nano with less bio-load. By the way, would appreciate sharing of price quotes of tank makers via PM.

Hi fellow nano reefers, I have been around in this forum for some time. I gave up reefing a few years ago due to my busy schedule and commitments. It took some time to read up on the latest offerings for equipment, trends etc. I am so tempted to pick it up again. However, before I proceed, I'd like to find out what you guys think of a shallow tank, maybe 2-3 feet long. I am thinking of using an external canister filter instead of a sump. In my previous set-up I had an overflow tube and a sump, and that posed several problems for me, especially when it came to maintenance. My concept is to keep it compact and tidy, because I do see myself shifting in the next 6 months. Skimmer wise, I will probably opt for the MCE600, and lighting either maxspect, if not ikea laps with PAR led lamps. I was also wondering it it is more ideal to go to a tank maker/ shop to design the tank (like Henry @ ML, CR etc). With such a setup, it will be more focused on inverts like snails, hermits, shrimps, and gobies with LPS, SPS and zoas. Looking at bare tank for ease of maintenance. Any advice?

Skimmer body, with collection cup, and 2 rubber O-rings for $120 Condition 7/10: minor surface scratches, no leaks. Original pump spoilt. Thus can package with Aquabee 2000i needlewheel for $160 Text me at 98184275 for arrangements. Reason for selling- focusing on Final Year Project, and downgrading to small invert tank.
