ggg111 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Looking in to getting a nuvo 30 or 38 gallon. Which should i get? I figured the smaller one would be less maintenance since it i ls snaller but maybe larger would be etter for water quality. Any idea if these are noisy at all i am puttin it next to my couch. Also im planning on not using a skimmer for noise reasons so which size is better for that. Thank you!
rgs2 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I have a Nuvo 38 and absolutely love it. I would suggest the larger size so you have more water volume not to mention "real estate". I run a Hydor Slim Skim Nano skimmer and it is very quite (quiter than the fan on the light). I would recommend getting the Spin Stream nozzles also as they create very good random water flow for the tank. Here is a link to my thread with a FTS I took yesterday: http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-...uvo-132910.html If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. My tank has been running for 7 months now.
ggg111 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Is th tank itself noisy ( return pump, water trickling?) or is it silent as long as there is filter material in? Thanks.
BusterDB Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Go with the 38 you won't regret it. My has been up a little less than a month and I love it. As long as you keep it topped off you won't hear a thing. Mine is in the family room as well.
BusterDB Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Which light is that buster? AI Nano. Prob not enough light for a tank full of SPS but mine is temporary. Preordered the Vega for this tank. And now I wait.....
rgs2 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Mine is very quiet also. I would recommend a ATO as the tank does have evaporation.
