New jebo nano tanks

[leaffish75]

I have just bought a new JEBO nano tank. its like the eclipse but the filtration is different. Has any ever used this tank? I bought it because I really like the filtering method.

Do you mean the JBJ Nanocube??

[leaffish75]

No the box says JEBO the web site is http://www.jebo.com.cn/html/under-s.html

Can you tell us more about the filter? A photo would be cool, it doesnt show much on the link.

[leaffish75]

the filter is a power head that sucks the water up and some blows out and the rest goes up in to a spray bar that sprays across a floss filter pad with a carbon filled pad (like the ones in hang on filters). the water then returns thru the bottom of the filter lin 5-6 openings. It has a very bright compact light. the lfs has about 5 set out with fish in them. they are great. JEBO even makes these tanks bigger than just the nanos. great for a little reef. they start off around 70 for the 6 gallon tanks.

you can spend 99$ for a 12 gallon JBJ Nanocube and it had 24 watt PCs and comes with the filter media a 50/50 light, also you can get 6500K lights for it if you do the FW thing with it.

[leaffish75]

This one had a compact light with dual switches one for the light one for the motor, has a hole for a heater. I know i could have gotten a bigger one for a little more but i have personaly seen these in action with salt water and fresh water and for a nano its great. its taller than some nanos so i can more corals.

[Puffy]

how many watts??

[leaffish75]

I have a Jebo 9 gallon and a Jebo 40 gallon. I love them The filtration is excellant. I may end up getting a retro kit for the 9 gallon so I can have more options. It is hard to find info on these tanks :roll:

[leaffish75]

Renee,

tell me about it the only site that has anything on it is the companys website. But they didn't start making these until recent. so i dont expect to seem much out there for a while. Where did you get yours from? I'm a houstonian

I got the 40 gallon from Neptunes Gardens on 45s. The small nano I can't remember the name of the store. It's behind Almeda Mall, also off 45s. I think they are great. I think we have found a reto kit to fit ours, so we are going to upgrade the lighting.

[leaffish75]

Tropical fish depot! I got mine there to. I love that place J J the owner is great. He tells me how to do my tank with out buying anything. To me thats a great store. he is will to take some loses on sells to keep a customer. Neptunes to me isnt good. their fish all ways get ick. their FW fish are great.

:hmm2:

[Renee]

Yep! Thats who it was. He is helpful. I like Neptunes. I get most most of my FW stuff from them. I have never had a fish die yet. What do you have in yours? I think I'm going to keep only one fish in mine, with some inverts, and coral.

[leaffish75]

well i got it for my girlfriend. we caught some pipe fish in galveston but they died after about 5 months so right now she has 3 leaffish while i finish my 55 tank. Im hopeing she will do a mini reef, but i dont know. Every weekend we travel over a 100 miles in houston looking at fish stores. We found one that always has hard to find fish. its all the way off 290. its about a hr 1/2 drive for me.

Have you been to Global Pets on Bellaire. It's out towards beltway 8. Small place, but they have some great frags. Also, in the area is City Pets.
Are you talking about Aquarium World?

[leaffish75]

No i havent been to global pets. I go to fish ranch 2 by sharps town mall. The place im talking about isnt aquarium world, although its a cool place but way to pricey. it is called Aquatic world. Its on Jones road. if you go past aquarium world and exit jones rd its about a mile or two on the left hand side. they all ways have some neat fish. about a month ago they had a 4inch shovel nose shark. They are the only place that gets alot of leaffish and anglers.

[Renee]

I know what you mean about dring all over. My son gets so sick of us. Every time we get in the car he says, where we going? "The fish store" A general term for many fish stores. I'll have to check of Aquatic World.

[leaffish75]

i got my girlfriend into the hobby so she doesnt mind going some times. I like going all the time. My problem is that she gets car sick before we even leave the house. Have you ever been to planet fish?
I got a 40 gallon breeder tank for only $30 because they move about 3 miles down the road.

[chode]

ive been to planet fish. i like that place because they are friendly and reasonably priced and they give a 1 week guarentee on saltwater. Aquatics world has a lot of neat stuff but they are not very welcoming and nothing against vietnimese or chinese but i just cant understand the stuff theyre trying to tell me. thats just me though.
