We finally decided to downsize from our 150 gallon and 40 gallon breeder to just a 12 gallon and a 28 gallon. Luckily we sold the 150 gallon set-up really quickly and used that money to get a JBJ 28 gallon LED nano. It's such a cool tank. The LED's are awesome and the dawn/dusk and moon lights make the corals glow! The daylight LED are extremely bright and are a nice crisp white. The only problem I have is that the daylight LED hum when they are on, but it's nothing compared to the MH's on the 150! lol. I'm not used to the house being this quiet!
Our plan for this tank is to make it a mixed reef with mainly chalices and zoas plus a few SPS, yumas, clove polyps, and plate corals. There's a pistol shrimp in there that we may find a goby for and a skunk cleaner shrimp. There is also a target mandarin and CBB in there. The CBB was getting out competed for food in my dad's tank, so I took him back and he looks just fine in the 28 gallon. He begs for food every time I go up to the tank. I've been feeding him a lot to try and fatten him up again. I've even gotten him to the point where he'll eat mysis out of my fingers!
Well enough chat, here are some pictures. I really wish I could take better pictures when the dawn/dusk lights are on, but the pictures do not show the bright colors at all.
Some chalices waiting to be glued down.

I downsized from a 175 to a 28 Gallon NanoCube. The amount of work to maintain was cut significantly. You'll love raising livestock in the nano. Super easy.
