I've found a place online where you can by just the tank of the JBJ 24Gallon. What I want to know is if a maxijet 1200 sideways can fit in one of the back chambers so I can run my AquaC Remora on that tank. I couldn't find the dimensions of the back chambers so anyhelp would be great.

Alright cool...So I'm thinking of putting my 15 Gallon reef into a open top JBJ 24 Gallon running 18" Coralife 96W Quad 50/50 and the JBJ Viper 70W HQI. Would this be sufficient lighting for my lps and softies? Could I go with some SPS?
For filtering I would just put the skimmer into the back compartment and some LR rubble with a carbon bag. Does this sound like a good way to go? Any suggestions?

That scheme sounds good.
Should be able to keep almost anything with that lighting.
PS is hard to get in the back, but once it's in there--it's hit or miss on how good of a job it will do. Seems the water level has to be just right.
LOTS of LR rubble in the back chambers
I don't run carbon constantly, so I can't comment on that.
ENJOY!

Not quite sure what you mean here. The Maxijet is hard to get in the back or is maintence hard?
And is it a hit or miss on how well the skimmer does? The problem I have with mine is the noise and bubbles. With a false back the bubbles won't get into the display. That is what I'm trying to stop. It does a wonderful job at keeping my Nitrates at 0 with my overfeeding and mysis cube a day for my sun coral. So just wondering if you could explain a little better.
Thanks!

PS = protein skimmer is hard to get into a chamber in the back and, for me, it is hit or miss as to how well it works.
Maintenance = easy
powerhead in back = easy.
ENJOY!
