Jims 28 JBJ HQI

[jim63dt]

I finished downgrading and figured Id post some pics.
Well I went from a 90 gallon to a 28. Most of the corals I had fit nicely in the 28 and JBJ makes a quality all-in-one system.
Setup was very easy She has been up and running for a little over a week. I took about 50% of my water from the 90 and 50% is new. all the rock (40 lbs-is that too much?) came from the 90. I think I need a chiller also the temp runs from 78 in the morn to 81 in the afternoon. any one have a spare nano chiller the need to get rid of?????? LMK what you guys think. Im also of thinking of upgrading the skimmer. any sugestions, comments LMK

I have the same tank running right now as far as the skimmer goes I have a remoraC, not sure on the model ill check into it but it hangs on the back nicely its a bit tricky to get it to fit but it does fit.

Its the first one. I got the maxi 1200 with mine. I'm not sure if the other pump fits. I also upgraded my stock pumps to the maxijet 1200's. It came with 600's I think. Im also going to be adding nanotuners pc upgrade and shortly adding a larger fuge to my tank. Def get a chiller its a must for this tank. Feel free to pm me and also keep us updated on what you do with the tank!! Oh and I just realized.....WELCOME TO MR!!!!

Anytime man!!! Thats what we are here for. Be warned that skimmer is loud as hell untill it breaks in. Mine quieted down or maybe I got used to it haha. There is something you can do to the skimmer to really make it silent if you find it too loud for you let me know and ill share
