[mmd]

i previously kept a reef in an oceanic 37 gallon
im looking for a tank which may be planted fw or another reef
i came across the jbj nano quad online for 299 with the stand (fosters smith)
is this a quality product?
any problems?
are the pumps and lghting name brand or knock offs?

I have a HQI JBJ 28 Nano and I like it. The compact bulbs will generate less heat which is a problem with the HQI...probably a pretty good tank for a planted freshwater- but I admittedly know squat about keeping a planted FW tank. Good tank for the $ and ready to go out the box...if you plan on keeping a reef with SPS - you will need to upgrade the amount of flow and light probably won't be intense enough. In retrospect I would have sprung for the LED model or one upgraded from Nanotuners...Best of Luck !

JBJ have been around for quite a long time and are a quality product, that price is actually a really good deal. They have quite a following and can esily be modified to fit your speicific needs but out of the box they are pretty much good to go as it is.
