JBJ launches its MEGA powered 28g Nano-Cube HQ1 Reef Series. This model incorporates many high-tech features not commonly found in "All-in-One" systems.

The concept behind the 28g Nano-Cube HQ1 was inspired by hundred of reef hobbyists who requested higher-powered lighting, protein skimming, increased water circulation, a more simplified filter, storage area in the stand for chillers, and desginated water level columns in the rear chambers for heaters, refugiums, and protein skimmers.

Our challenge was to offer these key features while still keeping the aesthetic appeal and contemporary look of an integrated canopy and allowing for future mod ability. The 28g Nano-Cube HQ1 - Reef Series is truly the evolution of years of experience since the original Nano-Cube Aquarium, which launched the small "All-in-One" tank market just a few years ago.

Take a look at the many features added to make your Nano Cube experience a success!

Mega Illumination
We are proud to offer the most intense illumination system out of the box, boasting a whopping 5/25 watts of power per gallon. Combined with our new German Parabolic Reflector, it casts sparking, shimmering rays from every corner of the aquarium. Definitely the choice for hobbyists who intent to keep hard corals, sps, and clams. The 28g Nano Cube HQ1 comes equipped with (1) 150 Watt Double-Ended HQ1/14K for daytime photo periods and (4) Nite-Vu LEDS for nocturnal photo periods. Nite-Vu LEDs are offered with its own individual powwer cord for timer usage.

Nite-Vu LEDs are strategically placed on all four corners to evenly distribute moon lighting throughout the aquarium. All LEDs are pre-wired individually with its own male plug for easy replacement. Consumes less than 1 watt of power, but strong enough to illuminate nocturnal behaviors.

Stay Cool
The secret to our cool-running canopy is our artistic canopy, which also serves as a key factor in heat dissipation. All canopies are made from Flame Retardant ABS Plastic. The 4 cooling fans are paired on 2 separate circuits in case one set of fans were to ever lose performance or fail. We've even gone one step further as a safety feature and added a thermal protector into the canopy. In the event all fans fail, the thermal protector will automatically shut off the HQ1 lighting until a safe temperature level has been reached.

Easy Feeding

New feeding lid is lighter than the previous full front lid. Grants quick and easy access for feeding and retrieving water samples without lifting the entire hood.

Note: New HQ1 Canopy & Ballast will be offered as an upgrade lighting kit for existing 24g Nano Cube Deluxe owners.

Smart Filtration

Our redesigned filter starts as water enters the center overflow. The water is directed into our 3-Stage Filter Media Basket, which comes installed with a mechanical sponge, chemical activated carbon, and biological ceramic rings. Our unique 3-Stage Filter Media Basket can host a variety of chemical medias to suit your needs. Cleaning is especially easy, since all you have to do is lift up on the basket handle and watch the water drain out the bottom for a simple and dry filter change. All baskets have a sliding door for added convenience.

Once the water leaves the filter basket, it is split to the designated heater column to the left and the protein skimmer to the right. Please note that the area that contains the heater, protein skimmer and 3-Stage Filter Media Basket always has a constant water level. You can easily customize other auxiliary equipment to your aquarium without worrying about water levels in the rear compartment fluctuating. No more broken heaters or heaters that automatically shut off due to evaporation and low water levels.

Once the water is heated and skimmed, the water overflows into the pump water columns. Both pump columns are shared, increasing the water volume for long weekends. Water is directed back into the main body of the aquarium via (2) Accela Pumps rated at 266 gph at a lower energy draw of 16 watts. Your Nano Cube HQ1 includes our Ocean Pulse Duo Wavemaker, which creates turbulent currents for a more natural reef environment. Your wavemaker can be set from 10 seconds to 6 minute alternating cycles. Water is returned via (2) directional return nozzles on each side of the center overflow for even natural currents.

Protein Skimmer
The first Nano Cube to incorporate an integrated protein skimmer in the rear chamber with an adjustable hanging bracket. This counter-current design effectively removes dissolved organics while oxygenating the water. This protein skimmer produces absolutely NO micro-bubbles back into the main body of the aquarium! Discarding the skimmate in the collection cup is easily accomplished by removing the removable cup or by setting up a skimmate container, such as an empty 2-liter soda bottle. A drain hole and hose is provided for the latter option. Air pump and hose is included with a replaceable wooden air stone. The collection cup holds approximately .3 liters of skimmate. Water level is held constant in the protein skimmer column even when the rear compartment filter area runs dry.

Each skimmer is equipped with an adjustable hanging bracket. This bracket attaches to the filer wall and can be adjusted higher or lower to desired skimmate consistency. We recommend changing the wooden air-stone every other month for the most consistent foam and micro-bubble production. The entire protein skimmer is removable to periodic cleaning and maintenance.

Airline holder and drain hose holder have been designed into the rear aquarium frame. This integrated design keeps hoses organized and prevents kinking. Simply insert hoses into the provided holes for a secure hold and clutter-free setup. It is recommended to give the protein skimmer a break-in period of up to 7 days before it stats to effectively remove dissolved organic compounds from the water.

Same Integrated Canopy Appeal
The 28g Nano Cube HQ1 offers 3.5" more depth than the previous 24g Nano Cube Deluxe. This larger aquarium grants more space for live rock, corals, and fish. We made sure to keep the stylish appearance of an "All-in-One" unit, while providing open access into the expanded rear filtration compartments. This revolutionary design grants easy access for modifications without the constant hassle of drilling, cutting, and working within space constraints due to the canopy.

Rear Filtration Access
The rear filtration area is open and grants full access without opening the canopy. This unique baffle design naturally keeps water temperatures more stable through natural evaporation. Chiller inlet and outlet tubes can be fitted easily without the need to cut holes into the rear of the canopy.

Stand Tall
The perfect complement to exhibit your reef aquarium. Our new design stands at 32" for better viewing. The cabinet stand is offered with (2) removable shelves and is designed to fit a small chiller inside without reducing the air flow required by chillers.

Easy Assembly
All stands are very sturdy and simple to assemble. No more cam locks and bolts to mess with.
