I asked this in the Nano Cube section but I thought Id ask here to....


Im just starting out. I got a empty JBJ 28G nano cube. I need everything to get it up and running as I don't have any of the stock parts for it! (LITEARLLY NOTHING, BARE EMPTY JBJ NANO TANK!)

Any suggestions on the best way to hook this thing up and get it going!?

I want to set it up so I can house corals, live rock and a few fish!

I got a blank slate right now and anxious to get it setup but want to know from people that have used one for awhile!

Ive read that MJ are good for the return pumps but should I go with the 900 or 1200. I don't want to use a chiller if possible. What about this one:

Ive read mixed things about the remora c skimmer and the tunze 9002. which one to go with?

What about using some type of media like rings for the filtration or do I need to worry about adding any type of media basket at all?

Should I get 2 return pumps and let them both run all the time or should I buy some type of wave controller?

It originally comes with a JBJ ocean pulse duo to control the two pumps and alternate to whatever setting you chose. My 28 is drilled with an overflow box and have both returns hooked up to one pump coming from the sump in the stand.
