Hey, I've been in and out of the hobby for about 4 years now. This is my second jbj nc. Long story short, my 120 sprung a leak, I downgraded to Ia 28g professional LED that I purchased from a fellow member. The tank sat for a few weeks to possibly 2 months. Once I finally got around to setting it up, I get a call from my mother screaming and cursing at me. The bottom seal somehow broke which caused the tank to end up all over my mother's floor. I called JBJ and surprisingly they sent out a new tank to me.

I wasn't really a fan of the stock LEDs. I sold the hood and upgraded to the Ecoxotic panorama pro 24" light fixture. I recently purchased a tunze 9002 and I just got done sawing off the magnet so it will fit into my center chamber. What a pita. Unfortunately I might have cracked the body but I used some weldon to seal it up. Hopefully it works. I'll find out in 22 hours.

Tank-JBJ 28 Gallon AIO

Light: 24" Ecoxotic Panorama Pro. These bad boys are extremely bright. I really like the dim feature. However, Ecoxotic really needs to improve with their customer service.

Filtration- TUNZE 9002 Doc Nano Skimmer

Waterflow- 2 x Maxijet 1200 returns. Just ordered a mp10wes.

Still need to buy:

I plan on purchasing the RGB Panorama Pro LED Module. I've asked around and so far I have been hearing positive reviews. Hopefully they are right!

2 x TLF reactors to run GFO and possibly carbon.

Stocklist: not sure, open to suggestions. I really want a dwarf frogfish/anglerfish.

Corals wise, mainly SPS. I never really kept SPS, I had mostly acans and zoos. Figured I'd give it a try.

Here are a few pics of when I got the replacement filled up with water, rock, and sand.

This was my old JBJ when I first started the hobby.

Well this sucks. I have to get a stand mount and what sucks even more is that I also need the wall mount in order I use this fixture. God I miss having a sump :( still waiting on ecoxotic to send me my equipment.

The tunze is pretty beastly. Don't have anything in this tank except sand and live rock and it still manages to get some garbage out.

No room for both!

figured i'd update this. don't get much feedback on rc, hopefully i can here.

-sold the ecoxotics
-purchased a xr-30w - i drilled some holes in my current light mount from ecoxotic, i didn't want to go through the hassle of selling the mount, and purchasing another mount.
-setup my mp10wes
-purchased an aquamaxx hob-1 not sure which skimmer to go with..9002 vs hob-1
-got a cleaner shrimp from red sand
-purchased TLF 150, looking for another one.

i have a really bad micro bubble problem which made me purchased the hob-1 thinking the media basket would help. however due to my light rail, i can't really mount the skimmer anywhere else on my tank. i was a little nervous about the location of my hob-1 and the way it was sitting which caused me to go back to the 9002.
