Yeah, my front glass was streaked. Sorry about that. And thats a bag of Chemi-Pure above the pump on the far right, and thats LR rubble in the middle chamber with the heater, not ceramic rings. Rock LOOKS like its touching the tank walls on the sides, but its just close, and its sitting right on...

pics of my tank, including my camera loving Purple Firefish.

Go with it if you've had good luck, I'm just passing along what I have heard, I've never used them personally. The Hydor Flo I DO have though, and I really like it. And the stock pump in a Nanocube 12 is 106 gph, not 84. IS yours a 12?

Hydor Flo device in place of the stock water nozzle. Not extra flow, but it redirects water in a wavelike fashion. I've also heard Rio pumps are failure prone, you might look into getting a maxi-jet 900 or perhaps a 1200. I run a 900 in my NC12DX, its rated for a bit more than 200gph.

I've heard they tend toward that, taking the other livestock in the tank along with it. Ok, I shall wait till January.

So if I order a salifert ph test kit, it may die? :notsure: If it was livestock only I could understand. Perhaps they should change their disclaimer (which I read) to say they would not be taking orders at all till after the new year. But, that is just my opinion.

I'm not sure what forum to post this in, but since I look on the nano forum mostly I'll post here. Is it just me, or is everything on the salwaterfish.com website sold out except for gift certificates?

I looked at the 70w halide upgrade, I can toss in a single 24w pc to get a total of 96 watts. The light from the halide is probably a bit more intense, but is the premium price worth it? The 4 bulb PC kit is only about 135 bucks, the 70W halide setup is quite a bit more.

hmm, are you handy with tools and wood? Might be able to cobble together a temporary brace with some 2x4's or something that span the width of the tank, with short pieces attached at each end hanging down the sides. Dunno how your hood or lighting is setup, and it would definitely be a very...

I'd not trust it either, most 55 tanks I've seen are pretty thin glass, and its probably not tempered. 55's are cheap though, but it would probably be a PIA to transfer everything to a new one. Was the tank under warranty?

is the 150w mh you ordered part of a retrofit kit, or are you gonna fudge it together trial and error?I REALLY want to put a clam and MAYBE some sps in my tank someday, and I want to do the lights right and keep the hood look fairly stock looking.

Has anyone done one of those light upgrades available on nanocustoms? I'm very seriously thinking of doing the 4/24w upgrade on mine so I can keep a few of the more light-loving corals and maybe clams, is 8w/gal enough on the NC12DX? Any heat issues? Thanks in advance.

As I understand it, the Aquapod 12 and the NC12 are very similar in dimensions, so I would guess the odds are good you would need to use both elbows.

I've heard of some folks that have very large tanks (150ish or bigger) that have the back visible painting the back with that chalkboard paint, its black when seen from the front of the tank, and you can go behind it and write on it with chalk for doing tank maintenance or whatever.

I gotcha, kinda figured as much. I mentioned in another post that I just got mine and it has a cracked elbow (female end) I called them up and they contacted CurrentUSA and were told that they are going to change the mold or whatever to eliminate the cracks in future production runs of the...
