Rollenbor Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hey dude nice start. Ive got the 30gl Nuvo thats been running for a couple months. I took out all the sponges in both baskets. One has Chemi pure elite with filter floss and the other has cheato with nano glo lght and purigen. Its been going really well. Good luck!! Link to comment
Ackbar Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks guys! I was thinking of removing that other filter just seems kinda low quality and finicky. I was playing around with the setup of the rocks while Im waiting for it to be ready for the cleanup crew. Here are some more pictures. Previous, I decided it was a little to "Archy" Current Trying to shoot some of the rocks, they have purple looking dots all over them. Turns out thats a hard color to bring out with blue lighting.

Ackbar Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I went to do some testing today and noticed that I accidentally bought a Freshwater testing kit. (here) The instructions talk about testing salt water, does anyone know if I can use this kit still or if I need to send it back for a saltwater version? Link to comment
