New Aquapod 12 Gallon

[Scooterman]

Wow these are so cool, I saw the 24 at my LFS & my wife had to pull me away. I'd also like to see those pics Brett, that seems to be trick.

My battery packs charging up right now and then I'll snap a few.

I'm so sorry chuck I don't mean to hi-jack your thread. I'll start my own.

Your tank looks awesome bud. When you get your 24g I can help ya if you need any help setting it up.

ROFL...That's usually my line. Glad to see there are other hijackers here as well (I'm sure Chuck doesn't mind)

Not a problem Brett ... Since my next project will be the Aquapod 24

I replaced the Aquapod 12 pump with a maxijet 900 ... upped the flow by about 70 gph while lowering the wattache by about 5 watts My fusion skimmer for it should arrive by the end of the week.

Considering getting that JBJ clip on light and have an open top on it for sure.

The 24 gallon will have the current sea HQI light on it. Will also have the stand and the skimmer to go with it. Should I consider the Rio 2100 as a replacement pump for it?

Then the fun with the 75 gallon tank really begins

Ok, I started another thread so Im not stealing yours Chuck. Again, Im sorry about that.

The aquapod HQI hood keeps it open too. I would consider the Rio, only if your doing SPS. I didnt feel the smaller pump was enough flow. Im no expert tho! =)
Whats going on with the 75?

Yeah...Shipping that thing to the Bahamas could be quite a task

sweet little nano chuck!!!! i love acro nanos!
btw, on the aquapod, is the back wall of the tank made of plastic?
im wondering if i could add a drain and return back there without going over the top, i found these super cheap plastic sumps perfect for nanos:

and wanted to try one out on either a nano cube or aquapod, i know the nano cube has a plastic back but would like to avoid jbj if possible.

 

[MtnDewMan]

neat little sump ... interesting concept for sure.

The back seems to be plastic on this one.

cool,thanks! my next project

I have the 12 gallon nc and put the mj 1200 into w/a hydor flo outlet. I've been posting a newbies guide to nanos and promise to show the mods I've done. Still stock with lighting though and temp regulation is w/a pc fan keeps it at 80F.

I decided to get the JBJ clip on Viper 70 14k Metal Halide for the tank. Should end up being a nice addition.

I have the 24 gallon on order finally too. If all goes well, by the end of the month I may have that one running as well. I am currently housing coral from my larger tank in this tiny tank, so it will be nice to get the 24 gallon up and running. At least to get the MH over it in a week or so.

And yes I have been following the nano thread, it's a nice read.

Chuck...I see Premium Aquatics sells those AquaPod tanks there, as well as the clip on lights. They even have a 3 gal JBJ Picotope all on their front page here...

Just thought I'd share that

 

[mattseattle]

I'm going to buy one of the 3 gal JBJ Picotopes and put a yellow tang in it!

Cool...Hey! Don't you think that's a bit small for a yellow tang? I wonder if that is this phase 3 Chuck spoke about...

 

[mattseattle]

hehe.... you would have to have an auto top off on something that small. the salinity swing would be enormous.
