Just pick up this tank in white last week, should be delivered by Wednesday. Upgrading a 5 gal. Will be following this thread.

 

How is the flow with the stock return pump? I might upgrade that first thing. I will also have a korila nano in there as well.

It's ok. I'm not worried though, the mp10w Es will be slapped on this badboy soon.

 

Btw the stock lighting for the white nuvo is 10k :/, but I'm sure you are going to upgrade the light.

Already have a DIY led fixture (rapid led) on my 5 gal that I am going to setup on this tank. probably need to install the optics that came with it though due to increased depth....ill see how it looks without.

Yep, good thing I'm not planning on keeping SPS in this tank. That's what my Elos is for.

 

Nice.. where did you get yours?

 

Can you tell me the dimensions of the media basket, and what size heaters can fit in the back compartment?

Nice acans!!

I've had them forever haha. I'm surprised they are somewhat still alive after all the crap I've put them through.

Hey Drifty, tank's lookin great!

 

Had a question for ya, how much water do you change when you do it?

 

I've been doing two pump chambers worth of water every week, think that's enough?

 

Also what's up with the swirl in your signature pic, secret overflow?

Well in short, the tank isn't mine, its the GFs.

I have been super busy lately so I don't really monitor it, she does.

 

From what she tells me she changes out about 1 gallon every 3 days.

manually tops off twice a day.

 

the swirl is hiding nothing . . . :ninja:

i need to change that sig, that tank has been broken down for a while now. . .

 

Also, are you running a skimmer or anything with the two clowns, seems like kind of a heavy bioload.

no skimmer; no room.

 

its actually 3 fish.

theres a yasha too, i had no where else to put it at the time.

and its too much of a hassle to take it out without wrecking everything.

took the mp10 off, debating on selling it. . ..

 

its just the spin stream for now.

 

Sell it to me for my 40br.. I'll even come pick it up and bring you some free xenia haha.
