JBJ 12 gallon Nano cube questions

[Beano1169]

Thanks everybody!
glad to hear my scape is canreef worthy
I do however have to secure every frag in the tank still
I need some good puddy from somewhere and figure out which type of glue to use for securing the pieces

I do have one question, it seems my zoas are a bit agitated, they barely open during the light cycle. What reason could there be to this, plus it is close to WC day so that could contribute.
if you have any opinions Im all ears!

ok so everything is going well, but now I have noticed that for that for whatever reason my hydor 360 reflector or my mj1200 is blowing a few small bubbles into the tank. micro bubbles from what I understand are not good for reef envrionments? any suggestions?

[craigwmiller]

On my JBJ12 microbubbles was either low water level, or one time the hose from the pump up to the outlet had a small crack in it where air was sucked in by the passing water.

awesome tahnks for the advice perhaps my hose is cracked at the moment. May I ask if you run a skimmer and if so where is it located? which camber if that is it sits in the back

[craigwmiller]

Yep skimmer -- the Oceanic one, works great for this tank (much better than it does in the oceanic BC 14 )

All in the photo:

Chamber 1: heater, bag of GFO, bag of Carbon
Chamber 2: skimmer
Chamber 3: chaeto (on a "tray" sitting on top of the pump)
Output: Hydor FLO rotating deflector

Water level in the back kept at the chamber 2->3 overflow level -- which is good for the chaeto and seems ideal for the skimmer... skimmer makes very thick buildup, not much liquid, which is ideal for such a small system.

Thanks that helped alot I tried it in C1 but its a bugger to deal with. I am doing my weekly change out tuesday, so I will swap er then haha.
I do have a question for anyone out there who uses Chillers on nano tanks, my tank at night sits at about 79.2 F recently I have discovered, that with the warmer weather if I do not take percautions to close my room door, the tank may get as high as 85.6 F. Im a little worried about this and would like to know the best solution to correct it, I am planning on an LED upgrade with stunnerpros from Modular but until then I need a solution.
Thanks for the help everyone, and hope to hear some responses soon.
