I ordered a 12g JBJ Nano-Cube from Drs F&S, and when I got it realized it had the older compact fluorescent lighting, not the LEDs I was expecting. So I tried to return it, fully willing to pay return shipping, and they said, Nah, just keep it. (woot
What I now envision is to purchase the newer model with LEDs, and use the old one as a sump/refugium/chaeto chamber with a submerged protein skimmer.
I'll have to drill one, which I have never done before, but I watched Youtube videos of people drilling this exact tank...
I figure around 1-2" aragonite bed and around 12lbs Pacific liverock.
Questions:
Is it worth it to buy a whole new tank, or should I just retrofit the canopy with LEDs and find a cheap 10g for sump?
It's been a while since I've had a reef, and when I moved and had to sell off my 90g, DSBs were all the rage. Can I safely have a 1" sand bed, and if so, will it support pods?
Any and all advice appreciated.
