JBL 6 Gal Nano Cube

Does anyone have this tank? I’m looking at the built in LEDs and wondering how they do at growing corals

I don’t have one but I’ve had other similar tanks. to be honest with you most “all in one” kits skimp on the lights and the return pump. Been a huge fan of nano tanks but usually first thing I do is get new lights snd measure return chamber to see what’s the biggest I can put in there. The kit lights usually don’t have a good spec tire causing corals to not do well. If you’re going with all softies or zoas you’ll be fine but if you’re going to try snd do some simple hard corals at all look at a reef brite they come in 12 inches

I second this… anytime I purchase an aio unit, lighting and pumps are upgraded immediately. Companies tend to go bare minimum in these aspects so they can keep the builds cheap and jack up the costs to make consumers feel like they’re making a “smart” purchase, when in fact it’s cheaper just to buy everything separately at startup.
