Were you at all worried about your flooring being able to support the weight? 120 gallons plus that stand (not including sand and rock work) can weigh a decent amount.

Scottie Watts - 6 years ago
Hello CJ been thinking about getting the same tank, just wondering how I could mount the light fixtures to canopy if used the traditional placement of canopy on top of the tank,I wanted to use same light you have as they have performed great!!Thanks
Scottie Watts
Scottie Watts - 6 years ago
CJ'S AQUARIUMS I will follow along with your tank progress now I’m curious if you will try it. Lol. I enjoy all your videos I’m learning a lot. Thanks for you help.
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago
Scottie Watts my best estimate would be 8” total height within the canopy... Water Line would be 1-2” below rim of tank... that would be cancelled by the thickness of the lights if hung inside the canopy. So I’d say 8” off the water inside the canopy or 10-12” off Water if mounted on top of canopy. The width of the opening looks about the same width as the ocean Revive leds. When I try it I’ll def put them on top of the canopy for maximum spread. Question is will it be enough... 17” off the water is def good enough ... has them 13” off the previous tank and it was enough.. more questions than answers at this point. I’d have to try it and get par readings to be 100% sure
Scottie Watts
Scottie Watts - 6 years ago
CJ'S AQUARIUMS I know you didn’t have the rail attached to canopy in video so about 5-6 inches clearance from water level with it attached ?? Would the opening in canopy top interfere with mounting light ? I can find a detailed measurement any where on line if canopy top?? Not sure how large the opening is??
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago
Scottie Watts I’m considering “un-floating” my canopy and doing the same as your thinking. Concern is the lights only being 5” off the water inside the canopy. Possibly mounting them on top would work... u could always build your own canopy. Prob your best route to get the correct height

Oli B - 6 years ago
Hello I just purchased an R&J Xtreme Oak Reef Series stand 48” by 24” by 36” tall. This aquarium is next to fit on it. Is the aquarium worth it and will it last there is no rim on the bottom of the aquarium....
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago
so far so good no issues... if i could do it over again i would have it driller for a ghost or external overflow.. to have all space avail inside the tank ... good luck wit your new system!!

depends on alot of things.. if tank is cycling its normal.. if its established then u may have nutrient issues.. not sure how to answer that one..

CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
They are very well built.. ... sump design isn't the best but you see how I got around that... just decide if you want a canopy or not. You can have it drilled for herbie or bean animal style drain when you order it.

Hi CJ question for you just got the maxspect gyre xf130, I have 40 gl drill cube you have before almost same size what was the best mode to run with your gyre? Thx for any help
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
lukas paluchowski yessir... was plenty of flow.. only reason to add a second one would be for more rand left & right flow options. That's the plan for this new system...
lukas paluchowski
lukas paluchowski - 7 years ago
CJ'S AQUARIUMS thx is this was only flow in tank beside return pump?
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
lukas paluchowski ran it on pulse mode around 40% pwr... mounted on the top with the nozzles facing the surface. The goal was flow, surface agitation & not blasting corals with direct flow. Keep in mine that was with the older controller... the new gyre controller has better options like random and gradual increasing flow... hope they helps

CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
Larry S. Use the L x W x H / 231 to calculate your min sump size in gallons ... then see what type of tank will fit under your stand with the equipment u want. It's a loaded question so can't tell you for sure... too many variables

nodrules2
nodrules2 - 7 years ago
hey what's better for a nano reef; 40 breeder or 40 long?
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
nodrules2 depends in the look you want. They are exactly the same water volume... is lean towards breeder because of the extra depth front to back... also will usually only require 1 light compared to 2 on the 40 long

Good to Hear. The last JBJ was one of the best tanks I have seen, love it. Currently, have a 125G tank, for the livestock I currently have:

*4 Fire Fish
*1 Foxface Rabbit Fish
*1 Sailfin Tang
*1 Hawkfish
*1 Lawnmower Blenny
*1 Leopard Wrasse
*2 Clownfish

Do you think that is sufficient, just fine or too much?

the canopy seems to cover a lot of the tank, how do you feel about it? also I would love to see you get a white board and some paper and draw out a few plans that you are thinking about for your new design. I do this and it is fun to go back and look at it later down the road and see how it worked out. I think it can also help keep us from impulse buying and remember to plan for growth. Cheers - Troy

Troy H the canopy cab be raised higher. But I agree it covers too much. My plan is to do a floating canopy mounting this to the wall about 15" above the tank. Should look real nice when I'm done... I document thoroughly on all my builds for that exact reason. Videos def will be my method of reflections years down the road... just like my last two reef tanks.

Hey CJ. They are great Tanks. I have the 50 gallon cube with upgraded stand. Get you a plastic hose clamp for the hose to the pump. Lube your hinges ahead of time. My hinges rusted really bad in a month. Be careful cleaning the glass the starfire glass scratches really easy. All their equipment is really quiet. SC Skimmers are better than good but upgrade if your going to have a lot of fish. I swapped my sump, Pump, and skimmer after a year. Broke the air hose tip on the silencer of the skimmer. To remove the cup you'll have to unplug the air intake hose each time. Your sump looks a lot more spacious than my 50 gal setup. You'll really love this tank. They have great seams and the glass is really clear.

I've spent this past week binge watching your uploads, I'm finally all caught up and ready to watch this tank come together.(Yeah, I watched them all) The $1 a gallon sale at Petco ended yesterday so you might be waiting a while to get a cheap sump. If you build one out of acrylic, then I recommend checking out General Rubber and Plastic on Preston Hwy for all your acrylic needs. They've always done right by me anyhow. Love the new tank, I'm only a lil jelly.

I left first chamber alone for filter sock. I removed the glass between the second and third chamber, making one large chamber for skimmer and carbon/gfo reactor. Next chamber is refugium with rock rubble and chaeto. Then the return chamber.
I used standard mat that came with tank.

NickClimbsHills
NickClimbsHills - 7 years ago
I live 30 minutes from the warehouse in California. I picked up a 90g rimless pnp. The eurobrace style looks slick without the canopy. Also, the plumbing hardware is garbage. They use metric for sizing so none of the pvc at the hardware store fits into the bulkheads.. :/
NickClimbsHills
NickClimbsHills - 7 years ago
You'd be surprised as to how utterly annoying it is. You'll have to custom plumb the whole system if you want to change just the tubing to hard plumb. But for us dedicated reefers, we manage to get the job done regardless :P
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago

CJ'S AQUARIUMS
It was the same Stand CJ, what I did do was I cut a piece of 2 x 4 that fit snugly in between so that whenever I did my maintenance on my skimmer ( the new one that didn't fit) I could remove the center brace and put the 2 x 4 where it was out of my way just in case. Brother I may look into your idea of adopting a tray system for filter floss. I myself hate those filter socks but they are a necessary evil for the time being.
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
Rad Perez that's info I needed from someone that has the tank... I haven't assembled the skimmer yet to try it. But if it can be removed without taking the sump out then it's all good! Prob stick with it. I am gonna modify the baffles and use a tray with filter floss... I prefer them over filter socks.. I calculated 2 inches worth of back siphoning to be about 13 gallons of the return lines aren't too too far below the surface. So a 40 breeder would work... long as 5 inches of space is left empty from the top. Ether way... it's music to my ears now I can stop worrying about equipment being stuck and move forward with the plumbing ... I also heard u say center brace wasn't load bearing.. did u have the mdf stand or the solid Wood one like me?
Rad Perez
Rad Perez - 7 years ago
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ i used the sump it came with and I'm actually still using it now on my new build. The skimmer that it comes with should go in and out, I don't believe I ever had a problem with that. The problem came when I upgraded my skimmer then I was screwed cuz the sump is to tall. I tried to jump on your live stream but for some reason I couldn't comment. I wanted to let you know that a 40 gallon breeder may be too small as a sump because when you turn off your main pump and the water drains into your sump, it may come close to overflowing. When I shut off my main pump in my tank it goes up pretty high, just FYI. Also it's easy to add filter socks to the sump, they have acrylic holders on eBay which hang directly on the glass and it's what I've been using for years now. Remember you need something down there Big enough to hold the water volume from your 120 when the pumps turn off either for maintenance or power outage.
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
Rad Perez this sump isn't gonna work it's too tall... what sump did you go with? Seems like anything over 15"-16" tall won't let you get equip out...
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
Rad Perez appreciate it man... looking at your videos on this tank is one the reasons I went with it... my only concern was the dorso style plumbing. Soon as I found out they offer herbie style it was overrerrrr hahah...I checked it that site.. decided to go with pukani.. more bang for my buck.. gonna take a lot of rock to scape this tank up to the waterline the way the jbj was... stay tuned! A lot more to come

aw man, you sold the corals! that sux! i would keep that sump and just buy a standard aquarium when petco has their dollar per gallon sale. get a 40 gallon for $40 or a 20 gallon for $20 and use that with a foam filter. don't waste your time ruining that sweet sump. use the sump...you have a killer one now.

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 7 years ago
Rotter Tube Reef my cuz helped me get it in the house... the truck driver was nice enough to use his pallet jack and bring up right to the patio door... lift gate service only requires it dropped on the curb.. I sold the jbj and all the corals to buy this tank... no way I could have afforded this without doing so.... I plan on removing the sump and baffles to Use as my QT tank..I'll be building a new sump from scratch.. a lot of videos to come on this tank.. I have a lot of work to do. Not rushing it this tank won't have water for awhile...

Reef Sensations
Reef Sensations - 7 years ago
You need to put that styrofoam underneath the tank glass and there should be one for the sump unless you put a rubber mat down instead. The rimless tanks will shatter once you fill it with water due to imperfections in the wooden stand and the weight of the water.
CJ'S AQUARIUMS

Nice tank c.j... looks like your skimmer is the sca302 not 301.. i got 302 3 years ago when they where dirt cheap.. they are not the most stout tubing but mine was worth every penny and is still going strong. (black thick skimmate) one thing to look out for is the rubber air line connects to plastic tube get salt build up clogging air causing skimmer to overflow, so i dremmeled the hole bigger where rubber tube connects to plastis tubing.. congratulations on your new tank..
