R0DD Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hey all got the itch again and wanted to build a nano so that it was easier to move being that I'm military and move every few years. Came across this NUVO 10g at my lfs and I am pretty impressed! I asked the lfs to hook me up with some water/rock/sand from his seasoned tank to jump start my cycle and everything is running so far. Had the tank up and running in minutes! I just ordered the Intank media basket as well. Link to comment
ClaireRenee Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I am sure you will enjoy the Nano-Reef community. Any photos? This community loves pictures Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Sorry guess they didn't stick lol they should be up now, these were last night and I'm sure the tank is cleared up by now, I will post updated pics when I get home Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 only issue I'm having right now is that its temp is 73.6....anyone recommend a nice nano heater? Link to comment
Chas19 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Great tank! I have to 10 and 20 gallon fusion love both of them. I am using the cobalt neo therm heaters in both my tanks. Using the 50w for the 10 gallon. Link to comment
DocReef Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice tank. I'll follow your progress. Just started my NUVO 20 as well. Link to comment
Hexadron Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I am using the cobalt neo therm heaters in both my tanks. Using the 50w for the 10 gallon. +1 Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice! I went to the store and picked up a Fluval M50....it was either that or a cheapy one that i couldn't set the temp on..... Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 should i upgrade the pump with a MJ1200 for better flow? would it be too much? Ive heard that the new media basket Im getting might have a hard time with a stronger pump. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice tank! I've got one cycling right now too. Feel free the check out my thread and compare notes. You should be OK with the inTank. It's the upgraded IM media basket people have had trouble with. I've thought about upgrading the pump, but instead i just removed the little flow director. Turns out that thing really constricts the flow of the pump. Also make sure it's set on full power - it can be hard to tell which setting is which just by looking at it. Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks a bunch teeny, will try it out. I don't know if the flow is adequate enough yet as I have nothing in it lol but will try your suggestions for sure! Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice tank! Thanks for your service and welcome to the fusion 10g club! I'll be following. Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks! Is Vortec the only powerhead/wave maker out there with motor outside of tank? Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yup they hold a copyright for that Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Cool, I have this MH light thats been sitting in my garage that I don't need anymore, anyone know how much I can get for it? http://price.salespider.com/cpida-1a002140d09cb7eb9d6d6b76d75bfa78/hanging-arm-pendant-with-14000k-150w-mh-lamp Link to comment
R0DD Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Or maybe trade for it? Link to comment
teenyreef Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 It's hard to say what you can get for it. Check realistic comparable prices on Ebay or Amazon, then list it here on NR and see what happens. Link to comment
