JBJ 45 AIO

[Plexasaurus]

Hey Everyone!

I recently purchased and started up a JBJ 45 gallon AIO aquarium.

Looking for recommendations of those who may have this tank of any upgrades I can do from the stock equipment? Currently, I'm interested in:

1. Obtaining a protein skimmer
2. Changing out the outflow nozzles (was looking at the IM Spin Stream's but hear they make a lot of noise and are frequently returned?)
3. Upgrading the return pump

& any other upgrades you guys think may be helpful with this tank. I already ordered two InTank baskets to replace the filter socks and they're arriving on Monday!

​

Thanks ya'll for your help!

1. Syncra Sicce 1.5 or 2.0.
2. Tunze Doc Comm 9001.

I used Mp10 wave makers. Tunze ATO. Definitely drop the socks.

Congratulations on your new tank. :)

I just started mine in January. It’s my first marine tank I got used.
I went with Tunze 9004 DC for skimmer.
Tunze silence 1073.050 DC for return pump. Very powerful. I added the random flow nozzles which work well.
No socks i have an in tank media basket with a mix of ceramic type stuff. Then a 300 micron piece of nylon screen on top to catch debris. I can rinse and reuse it. I also have a smaller in tank basket in chamber2 following the bio media. I put chemi pure blue and a finer sponge in that one.
Opposite side is protein skimmer , heater.
I want the MP-10 and Tunze ATO next to replace what I have. Jeabo, Icecap.
