Nate's 40G Nuvo Fusion

[anaitari]

Getting back into the hobby after about 8 years out.....Thought I would start small.....Wow a lot has changed in the years.
Equipment:
IM Nuvo Fusion 40g
Eheim 100w Heater
hydor 425 circulation pump
Ecotech MP10
Maxspect Ehereal Lighting
25 pounds live sand
30 pounds of live rock
Running 2 filter socks at the moment , waiting for the media racks to come in.
Any suggestions on what I should run in the racks? Also a suggestion on a skimmer......It needs a pretty small footprint for the skimmer. Pics are a little cloudy as I just added the rock
Any and all suggestions or comments are welcome , Thanx in advance

Yeah lots has changed! Everyone uses dry rock these days... Nice to see "old school" live rock! That's all I'll ever use in my own tanks too.

Nice tank to setup and dive back in!

I always liked the IM tanks. Got a Nuvo 20 myself.

For the baskets, run filter floss, chemipure, and purigen in that order.

Since it's a dual chamber return, it's up to you what to run on the other side.

Noticed lots of evaporation in these tanks so I also prurchased a Tunze Osmolator 3155 .....Now to patiently wait for the cycle.....I Picked up some Chemipure elite and purigen for when the cycle is complete

Just set up a nuvo 10. Liking it so far. Cycled in two weeks with live rock. I run the ghost skimmer from IM and it seems to work well for the short period it has been running.

Lights on during cycle?

[anaitari]
