Anyone have a JBJ Nano setup? What all comes with it?? I'm interested in getting one since they are so cheap (read: cheaper). :) I want to get a reef setup in the nano, since I can't afford the lighting systems on my 60 gal, let alone all the corals needed to fill it and make it look decent. A nano is a way to do it, albeit probably harder. :) Anyone have a JBJ Nanocube?

i have one and am happy with it but i don't have corals, but if you do decide to get one and want corals, find a light fixture (to replace the 24w, included) before you buy, and good luck with whatever you chose
nanocube includes:
106gph wet/dry filter plus media
24w light

You can add a 32watt CSL Retrofit into the hood system.
Totaling 56watts. That should be plenty for some low-medium light corals.
There is another forum that shows how to retrofit it.
:)

newbienz: aren't the 32w bulbs to long to fit in the hood, from my search only 28w and under will fit if you found a different bulb on a website will you email the site to me (greenbananas87@aol.com),
Badkharma: i don't think an anemone is a good choice for any aquarium, although some have had success i would not risk it (aren't some toxic when they die?).

Actually the 32watt CSL Retro is an exact fit. Check out reef central and search through the nano reef section for a "JBJ Nano Retro Light" topic.
Looks pretty cool too, you might have to install 2 fans to reduce any heat though.
I went another route, took off the top and installed a CSL 2 x 40watt PC/Moonlight.
