Jbj 28g build

[Qh2214]

I'm picking up the tank today at noon!

It is a professional LED 28g nano cube.

I'll list the equipment I have to go along with it! Also I'm planning on several cave ideas for aqua scape and I decided to try the Hawaiian black sand just because I feel it really makes the corals pop. I plan to make this a SPS dominated nano with probably a few softies and maybe an anemone eventually I'm not sure!

Equipment:

- AquaC Remora Hang-On Protein Skimmer w/ Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200 Powerhead/Pump
- Cobalt 100 Watt Aquarium Heater w/ LED Display
- Hydor 850 gph circulation pump
- 20 pounds of live rock (approx)
- JBJ 28g professional

Possible stocking options:

- Few clowns (snowflake or ice snowflake)
- Diamond goby
- Clean up crew of course
- My personal favorites snail (zombie snails)

Those are all just possibilities, nothing set in stone yet^

I will take some pictures and add them to this thread as I get it going! This is my first thread build but not my first reef nano, so let me know any suggestions or anything you all would like to see!

Cheers!

Appreciate that! Depends on how much flow you like really. I have the two power heads on the back wall on a 2 minute wave maker then I have the constant powerhead on the side. I actually put that little cave in front of my bubble because I was getting too much flow and it was not handling it well!
