Hey everyone!
Background: I lived in South Florida for 3 years and had two 29g reef tanks. I moved up to Boston last May with one decent sized piece of live rock and my beloved 3 year old gold-striped maroon clown named Todd. I purchased a 12g JBJ Nano Deluxe and stuck the rock and Todd into it and haven't done anything since besides maintenance.
For photos of my previous tanks and Todd go here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2032344&l=66e44&id=33402569
Problem:
I have a 12g JBJ Nano Deluxe and it hasn't been a year and I've had several issues. The most recent being a defective lighting fixture. I replaced the bulb and it still won't turn on so now I need some alternatives.
I don't really want to buy another JBJ Nano hood because I am skeptical about the quality (both the fans have also died within several months and for some reason it bubbles on occasion and is really loud).
I was told at Skipton's that there is no other hood/lighting fixture that would fit onto my tank. I have a cat so I need something that sits directly on the tank and I also prefer to have it look seemless.
I'm thinking that the easiest thing to do is just buy another nano but I'd like some recommendations on which one. Any suggestions???
Here is the tank (prior to the lighting problem) and my kitty
Thanks in advance for your help!
