i was wondering if everybody's 12g JBJ nano cube stock model is like this
the fans are exposed without a cover, their just hovering over the water
is this correct? doenst it seem dangerous?

tank temp is 80. i notice theres more evaperation on this tank than any of my others. i checked for leaks but the rug is dry and no salt creep marks anywhere on the tank or stand. im guessing this is due to the uncovered fans?

Mine has a large clear plastic covering both the lightbulbs and the fans. The fans exhaust the heat of the bulbs. I think.

I have an OG 12g JBJ that I modded by adding two fans. Those fans are there not covered below them and exposed directly to the water to cool the water down. I've had it running for over 2 years now and it's working fine.

Mine is a 12 dx and it had a cover but I took it off and the fans seem to keep the tank a lot cooler now.

Originally, the JBJ Nanocubes didn't have fans, then they started selling them with fans, so it depends if you bought one of the originial ones.

i bought the 2006 model with cooling fans, the dx is an update on lighting+fans
so i have the origional one 50/50 bulb lighting with new cooling fans. the dx model has a splash guard mine however does not have a splash guard over the fans just over the light.
the fans are making a bit of a noise now, i hope they are ok
well it did only cost 89.99 lol
