Nano cube

Tyloz · 04/08/2013, 02:45 PM

Hi all . I am after a little information. I have recently set up my tank (7days)and have managed to get my temp and salt levels about right now. But am a little confused as to what to do with the lights. I have a nano cube 24.i have a switch on the lid that doesn't seem to do any thing, so I have been switching the main power pack off at night witch also switches the fans off, I really would like some advice on what to do so I can get into a routine. As you can tell I'm new to this!!
Thanks very much

What kind of nanocube? Model and brand please

If you are turning off the main power you are turning off the powerheads which is not a good thing!

i would get a day/night timer type power strip. i bought the Coral Life Power Center for $20 and it has a digital display and can control the lights in 7 different ways and you can select what time of the day or which day it is on. when the day time outlets are off the night time outlets come on............ that was my solution anyways. im sure there are a million different ways to do this.

You say power head!! Is that the pump??
Sorry to be so thick!!��
The pump stays on when the pack is off
It's on a seperarte wire as is the heater
