You just need to upgrade the light right?

Yes, the stock lights are not enough for most corals. There is TONS of info on Nano-reef about using different bulbs in the current sockets or replacing them with LEDs

Stunner strips and coralife 20w 50/50 bulbs are more common mods that can be found in the linked thread at the start of this post.

Feel free to remove this post if you feel it's not appropriate for the thread.

The aquaclear fuge upgrades are also common on these nanos.

wow bemi.. thanks!

 

[Mike Bennett]

Pico/Nanos are kinda my thing. They're all I do. Glad to help the store when I can.

 

[rihanssu]

Ok I want one anyone here that is willing to help me convert the lights. ? I'm no good at those things


What are the colors available Clint?

 

[Merkurfan]

see the PDF link above for photos, a sliver, black and burnt orange are your choices. Also, the price above is for a 6 gallon. if you want the smaller 3 gallon one I can get you a price on that as well. You might be able to get away with using the bulbs bemi linked to. They pop right in

 

[Merkurfan]

sure, for some reason they are not in the online catolog for the company. So i have to try and find their sku number. Should know tomorrow.

Thanks Clint

They come in black, pewter, and a burnt orange...

 

[Mike Bennett]

I'd be willing to help people with their lighting modifications. Just start a build thread in the pico/nano subforum and PM me a link to the thread and I'll help you through it.

15x8x9 tank dimensions.... That's a 10.5x8 inch notebook

that works out to 4.68 gallons.

They are only sold in one size, this is according to the manufacturer. I buy them direct from them. Their official stated size is 6 gallons.

 

[noeldokken]

OMG I want one!

 

[cubetankguy]

Didn't mean to comr across like an ass last night, just trying to figure out the size disparity...

 

[Merkurfan]

Alright, just need people to commit and I will order some

 

[redeclipse6049]

hmm... this might... MIGHT... end up being a cool project for this winter... MIGHT.


i can't commit on anything for right now though

 

[Jace]

Fluval Edge's are so siick.

 

[redeclipse6049]

so expensive for a 6 gallon tank though... My 14g biocube was only 30 dollars more... great... now the wheels are turning again...
