    Nanocube Lights

    Ok, I'm beginning to think mine does not have an LED, perhaps the are different generations of the nano dx (though I could swear that my box said it had an LED). Given this, I have started to think about the merits of buying a new hood, one with a bit more lighting and an LED. Does anyone have...

    Nanocube Lights

    I just went and looked and there don't even seem to be any LEDs. My two flourescent bulbs are half white and half blue, and I cant find any LEDs anywhere. Is the blue half of the light their version of the LED? -Walter

    to all college students...

    I went to NCSU (and eventually UNC for that matter). Go Pack!!! I have a 45 gallon African Cichlid, a 12 gallon nanoreef and a very frustrated cat!

    Nanocube Lights

    I just recently set up my 12g NanoCube DX and, well, I can't quite figure out the lighting. I know how to turn on and off the main lights but I cant figure out the LEDs, do I need to go and buy them seperately? The box says with LEDs for night viewing but the only switch I seem to find is the...

    To coral or not to coral...

    I put this earlier in the new hobbiest board, but I think it would be as good (or better) here. I'm looking for opinions on keeping coral in a nano-tank. The more I read the more I realize how difficult it will be to keep coral in a 12 g tank. I have the nano dx so I should have enough lighting...

    To coral or not to coral...

    I'm looking for opinions on keeping coral in a nano-tank. I realize there is a whole thread devoted to this, but I think I can guess what their opinion would be. The more I read the more I realize how difficult it will be to keep coral in a 12 g tank. I have the nano dx so I should have...

    Natural Sea Water

    What is everyone's opinion of using natural sea water as opposed to RO/DI with synthetic salt? I know that since I'm doing a nanoreef it will probably be too inconsistent (Ph and Salinity wist) to use regularly but I did half NSW and half DI (so I could better adjust the salinity) while setting...

    How many fish... and what kinds...

    I'm setting up my 12g NanoCube (DX) and while it is still a few weeks off I'm wanting to look at the fish I can put in it. I know that I cant put very many, but I would like more than one. Does anyone have any suggestions? Right now I'm leaning towards a pair of clown fish but that seems so...

    The order of things...

    Thanks for the info. How important is LS? If I have LR do I need both?

    The order of things...

    I just picked up a 12 g Nanocube DX and am going to set it up in the next few days. My LFS said to add the salt first, as that would be easier to add before the sand. Next the sand (obviously), but then how long do I let that cycle? and then what all should I add next (and how long [approx] to...

    About to start up...

    Hi, I'm about to start my first nano-tank and more specifically my first saltwater tank in general. I think I've decided to go with a 24g DX Nanocube but would like to hear other peoples opinions of them and any other nano suggestions someone might have. (I like the 24g over the 12g since the...

    A Newbie Question

    Looking at the choices I would probably want to go with the reef tank or the aggressive tank. Is there somewhere i can find good examples of nanotanks of those two kinds? I know I can find some pics in the forums but I dont know that I would be able to tell what kind of tank it was. Thank you...

    A Newbie Question

    Hi, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to saltwater fish tanks, I've had cichlids for some time now and am ready to start the next step. I know I want to start out simple and a nanocube seems to be the way to go. The first thing I need to decide is between 12 and 24 gallon NanoCube, does the...
