I'm thinking of getting this kit, it includes the whole JBJ 12 gallon tank. http://www.nanotuners.com/product_in...14d26d3ec11f97
If you scroll down you can see 3 bulb options, should I get 1 of each kind? is the internal fuge light and chiller a good idea?, Is keeping chaeto worth the trouble of growing it? If so what chamber would it go in? How much live rock rubble would i use in each chamber? Would these lights be enough for a small anemone for a mated pair of clowns?, as well as for corals and other things.

I didn't go this route though. I put a K2 Viper 150w halide over my JBJ 24 and it is AWESOME. I wish I had some pictures since the upgrade....

It would not be a good idea to attempt a pair of clowns and an anemone in a 12 gal. It has been done I'm sure, but it would not be easy.
Even if you were successful, you would not be able to keep other corals because the anemone could move you on and sting everything.
If you want an anemone and a pair of clowns go for a big tank not a nano.
:joy:

Ands with the crack rate of the glass on these JBJ cubes I would look for a large tupper ware or rubber maid container to set my cube in as well or else have a mop & bucket on standby.
Chaeto is no problem or hassle to grow. It does perfectly well without any outside intereference form a human being of any kind as long as it has water to roll around in and at least 8 hours of some kind of light, which again its not really fussy over what type of light as long as its a light source. Bout every two weeks just pull out about 50% of it as it grows relativley fast.....thats allthere is too maintaining chaeto.
There has been some speculation on some forums that the HQI lights do aide in making those cubes crack, but from what I hear and read and had experience with they crack if they are gonna crack with or without HQI / MH / PC lighting......there just is not any telling. ONe hting about ordering a cube online is yu can not look the corners of it over very carefully for any scratches. They have been nortorious to have minute scratches from manufacture on lots of tanks, and this too propagates cracked cubes. If IO was to ever fool with the JBJ or Aqua Pods ever again (doubtfull anymore) I wuld want to inspect my tank up front before I plunk down the $$ for it. With the rate of cracked and broken tanks received in shipment or right out of a box in a lfs, it can amount to you getting behind a rock and a hard spot if it is cracked especially if the box is not damaged (mopst have not been) so the carrier puts the problem on the shippers packing and the buck goes back and forth with your money tied up.

I too am going to be getting a tank from this website! I am either going for the 6 gallon with 54 watts pc lighting (one of each 50/50, actinic and 10k) or else I'm going to get the viper metal halides. I'm a little worried about halides though, maybe over heating or just being difficult to keep mh's at college! Plus, on 6 gallons, I think 54 watts of pc will be wonderful and I likely won't need too much more to keep most things. What do you guys think? I am extremely glad to hear good things about the company too. I called them a few weeks ago, and they are extremely helpful!Hopefully my cube won't crack! That is the first mention of that problem that I have heard though.

Wait until I post some pictures of the lighting work on my 14gal biocube that I did myself. 150watts of metal halide, + 24watts of actinic PC lighting and 1 Nite Moonlight.
