28g Nano-Cube HQI.

The Ultimate Reef Series Biotope !

JBJ Launches its Mega powered 28g Nano-Cube HQI Reef Series.The New Model incorporates many high tech featues not commonly found in 'all-in-one systems.

The new concept behind the 28g Nano-Cube HQI was inspired by hundreds of reef hobbyists who requested higher powered lighting , protien skimming , increased water circulation, a more simplified filter , storage area in the stand for chillers , and designed water level columns in the rear chambers for heaters , refugiums and protein skimmers.

Our challenge was to offer these key features while still keeping the aesthetic appeal and contemporary look of an intergrated canopy and allowing for future mod ability.The 28G Nano-Cube HQI Reef Series is truly the evolution of years of experience since the origional Nano-Cube Aquarium , which launched the small "all-in-one" tank market 4 years ago.

Take a look at the may features added to make your Nano-Cube Experience a success!

Mega Illumination

We are proud to offer the most intense illumination system out of the box, boasting a whopping 5.35 watts of power per gallon . Combined with our new German Parabolic Reflector , it casts sparkling shimmering rays from every corner of the aquarium . Definitely the choice of hobbyists who intend to keep hard corals , sps and clams. The 28G Nano Cube HQI/14K for daytime photo periods and Nite-Vu Leds for nocturnal photo periods. Nite-Vu LEDs are offered with it's own Power cord for use with a timer.

Nite-Vu LEDs are strategically placed on all four corners to evenly distribute moon lighting throughout the aquarium . All lEDs are pre - wired individually with its's own male plug for easy replacement . Consumes less than one watt of power , but strong enough to illuminate nocturnal behaviours.

Stay Cool

The secret to our cool running canopy is our artistic canopy which also serves as a key factor in heat dissipation. All canopies are made from flame retardant ABS Plastic . The 4 Cooling fans are paired on two seperate circuits in case one set of fans were to ever lose performance or fail. We've gone one step further as a saftey feature and added a thermal protector into the canopy . In the event of all fans failing , the thermal protector will shut off the HQI lighting to let tempratures fall to safe levels.

Easy Feeding

The New feeding lid is lighter than previous full front lid . Grants easy access for feeding and retrieving water samples without lifting the entire hood.

Smart Filtration

Our Newly Redesigned filter starts as water enters the center overflow. The water is directed into our new 3-stage filter media basket., which comes installed with a mechanical sponge , activated carbon and biological ceramic rings.

Our unique 3-Stage Filter Media Basket can host a variety of chemical media to suit your needs. Cleaning is especially easy since all you have to do is lift up on the basket handle and watch the water drain out the bottom for a simple and dry filter change . All baskets have a sliding door added for convenience.

Once the water leaves the filter basket , the water is split to the designated heater column to the left and the skimmer to the right .Please note that the area that contains the heater , protien skimmer and 3-stage Filter Media Basket always has a constant water level . You can easily customise other auxillary equipment to your aquarium without worrying about water levels in the rear compartment fluctuating. No more broken heaters of heaters that automatically shut off due to evaporation and low water levels.

Once the water is heated and skimmed , the water overflows into the pump water columns. Both pump columns are shared increasing the water volume for long weekends. Water is directed back into the aquarium via two Accela pumps rated at 266GPH at a low energy draw of 16watts. Your Nano Cube HQI includes our new Ocean Pulse Dual Wavemaker which creates turbulent currents for a more natural reef enviroment.. Your wavemaker can be set from 10 seconds to 6 minute alternating cycles. Water is returned via directional return nozzles on each side or the center overflow for even natural currents.

Protein Skimmer

The first Nano-Cube to incorporate an intergrated protein skimmer in the rear chamber with an adjustable hanging bracket. This counter-current design effectively removes dissolved organics while oxygenating the water . the protien skimmer produces no micro-bubbles back into the aquarium . Discarding the skimmate in the collection cup is easily accomplished by removing the skimmer cup or ny setting up a skimmate collection container such as a soda bottle . A drain hose is provided for the latter option. Air pump and hose is included with areplacement wooden air stone. The collection cup holds approximatly 0.30Litres of skimmate. Water level is held constant in the protein skimmer column even when the rear filter compartment runs dry.

Each Skimmer is equipped with an adjustable hanging bracket. This bracket attaches to the filter wall and can be adjusted higher or lower to creat the desired skimmate.

We recommend changing the wodden airstone every other month for the most consistent foam and micro-bubble produstion. The entire protein skimmer is removable for periodic cleaning and maintenance.

Airline holder and drain hose holder have been designed into the rear aquarium frame . This intergrated design keeps hoses organised and prevents kinking.

Simply insert the hoses into the provided holes for a secure hold and clutter-free set-up.

It is recommended to give the protien skimmer a break-in period for up to 7 days before it starts to effectively remove dissolved organic compounds from the water.

Same Integrated Canopy Appeal

The New 28g nano cube offer 3.5" more depth than the privious 24g nano cube delux. This larger aquarium grants more space for living rock , corals and fish. We made sure to keep the stylish apperance of an all-in-one system while providing open access into the newly expanded rear filtration compartments. This revolutionary design grants easy access for modifications without the constant hassle of drilling and cutting within space constraints due to the canopy.

Rear Filtration Access

This rear filtration area is open and grants full access without opening the canopy . This unique baffle design naturally keeps tempratures more stable through natural evaporation. Chiller inlets and outlet tubes can be fitter easily without the need to cut holes into the rear of the canopy.

Stand Tall

The perfect compliment to exhibit your reef aquarium . Our new design stands at 32" high for better viewing . The cabinet stand is offered with two removable shelves and is designed to fit a small chiller inside without reducing the air flow required for chillers.

Easy Assembly

All Stands are very sturdy and simple to assemble . No more cam locks and bolts to mess with .
