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.

Nice coverage and profile on that Ethereal unit!
Should post your system on nano-reef, lots of IM owners if you're looking for ideas. For a skimmer you might want to look into the Tunze 9004, I know it's popular with many of the 40 builds there.

Bloom probably won't last long. I've read the tank has no use for lights during a cycle, and they increase likelihood of issues such as this and algae. But there are benefits to diatom blooms as well. I left mine off unil it was done.

Well , a few weeks into the cycle now...used fully cured live rock and some media from another tank......For the last 3 days my levels have been sitting at
Ammonia : 0 Nitrite : 0 Nitrate : 5PPM PH : 8.2 to 8.4.... Colors so close on test kit hard for my eyes to tell hahhaha Using API saltwater Master kit Still have a Diatom bloom and starting to turn To green Hair Algae I think......Is this normal or could something be off??? I also hate filter socks and Ordered 2 InTank media racks.......I don't like the IM ghost Skimmer but found The CadLights PLS 50 Elite skimmer that will fit in that chamber.....Anyone used Cad Lights skimmers before????? I heard algae blooms are close to the end of the cycle.....Is this true??? will I be able to slowly add a cleanup crew soon??? I want to do this right so I appreciate the answers and advice
