Great forum. So much information and great people willing to share their experience! I've been reading many posts over the last few days and can see why this hobby is addicting.
I've successfully had fresh water fish for a number of years and am considering getting into salts. The all in ones seem like they might be a good starting point but funds are not limitless.
I've been reading the great things that everyone has done to modify the various all in one pod's and I also realize some of the enjoyment of the hobby is making modifications to your system but has anyone been able to successfully raise soft corals and a few fish with the stock lighting on the Aquapod 24. Maybe I missed something in the forum but haven't seen many posts that have stock lighting.
I've talked with folks at the LFS and they indicated it would be possible, just replace the stock filter media with LR and should be ok. From the what I have read I was concerned they may just want to sell me a tank.
If someone is using stock lighting and would not mind sharing their experience it would be appreciated.
Does anyone use an overflow to get water to a seperate fuge? If so do you use a overflow box to get water from one of the filter chambers? I have an extra tank that I could set up as a fuge with a skimmer for little cost.
Also in searching the forum I found a post on the new specs for the 2007 Nanocube. The post was dated back in 2006 and haven't seen anything since. Seems like a good set-up - HQI lighting - built in skimmer - dual pumps -4 fans - removable media basket (maybe to pricey tho) Has anyone heard any additional news on this pod. When, how much, how good?
Thanks,
