heifinator Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The 60g shallow has been up and running pretty much exactly 1yr now. I was getting the itch to start another tank and my co-workers wanted to have one in the office. So... I bit the bullet and bought a nuvo 38. This is going to be a pretty solid build I think and I spared almost no expense to hopefully get the best and make this a wonderful tank! Equipment list: Tank: Nuvo 38 - BlackDIY Stand: DIY (similar to my 60g build - link in sig) - Black Pump: Stock Flow: MP10wes Lighting: DIY (similar to my 60g build - link in sig) Filtration: inTank media basket / fuge basket (Thanks stevieT) & Tunze 9004 skimmer Heating: 100w Neotherm Rock: 30bs BRS Reef Saver Sand: TropicEden ReefFlakes Will put up some pics this week. Everything is here except the tank (Friday). Until then, here is my concept shot. Link to comment

Angel<3Nanos Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I don't think your tank is big enough for that fish.... Yup, his eyeballs are popping out, it's a sign of stress. .. Link to comment
heifinator Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 I don't think your tank is big enough for that fish.... But he eats and is alive, therefore its alright. Go away fake fish police. I plan on getting a pair of my pop-eye fish and then 3 tangs, they will all host an anemonaiee and be a happy school of inter-racial fish. DEAL WITH IT TL:DR Haters gonna hate Link to comment
heifinator Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 The glass arrives tomorrow and everything was setup today! Ignore the blur, my camera was all jacked up and I didn't know it. Still needs the door, will be on next week! Also needs wire management still... Baskets awaiting a new home. Did I mention wire management issues? LED Glory, and some StevieT love. More LED Glory. And more... Tunze Skimmer, MP10, and NeoTherm awaiting their aqua-home. Front room at the office. Another angle. The whole deal! Lights on for first time. Link to comment

mipster Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hey can we get an update! I love this nuvo tank and am thinking it will be my upgrade of choice from my 29 gallon bowfront. Can I also see how you have the back set up? I already have the tunze 9004 and I'd love to see how you have everything fit in Link to comment
