Im running a Tam Rio 600 for my return pump only cause I had one left over from an old HOB refugium and I have it turned down a little bit

I also have 2 hydor koralia 240 nano's and a hydor wave maker.

I have a IM Fusion 20. Ive been playing with the return nozzles and my Jebao SW2 just went out ( plugged the wrong power supply into it). How does everyone have their return nozzles pointed and what wave maker are you using?

What pump is good for the return chamber on a 10G, also what powerhead for the display?

If I could go back in time....id grab the mp10....but the koralia nano is much more affordable....depends if you wanna go simple/cheap or complex/expensive.....ive found that random flow is super important so the mp 10 maybe your best bet.....but you can always add a cheap wave maker to the koralia powerheads

I just set up Nuvo 10 system with the following specs.  I recently finished cycling and have added a couple frags of zoas and Palys.  

 

IM 10 Nuvo Tank

IM Spinstream nozzle

Sicce 0.5 return pump

Cobalt Neotherm 50W Heater

Tunze Osmolator Nano ATO

Jebao RW-4 (with 12V mod)

AI Prime HD

Eshopps Nano Skimmer

Neptune Apex EL controller

InTank Media Basket

Coralife Biocube Stand

7lbs liverock

10lbs live sand

 

I’ve taken up pretty much every square inch of space in my rear return chamber! So far everything is going well and zoas seem happy.

Been out of having a tank for a while, about 8 years now, and decided to get back in it again. This will be a slow build even though I just purchased the Fusion 30l, it was on sale and should be here this Friday,  I will be building a stand for it and hoping to pick up a lot of the parts on black Friday and cyber Monday for this thing.  I just need some help on the parts list for the build like what lights, pumps, skimmer, etc. What I am going for will be primarily a softy setup and a few fish.  

 

Tank- IM Fusion 30l

Stand- custom

Sand- 30 lbs Caribsea special grade arag-alive

Rock- 30 lbs local 

Salt- Red Sea Pro

 

My parts list of what I will need,

Water-4 stage RO/DI system, 75gpd 

Top off-ATK top off

Lights-Maxspect Razor R5 200w

Heat-Neo-Therm 100 watt heater

Pump-Maxspect XF250 Gyre pump and controller

Flow-IM Spin streams

 

Not sure on which skimmer or if I would need to upgrade the return pump now or wait. My wish list is the Apex controller.  If I have missed anything please let me know, thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any experience with making the 2nd chamber of a Nuvo 10 a refugium? Does it get really messy in the third chamber if I don’t have a custom media basket? Thanks!

I would think it'd be fine...you would just need to add a fine filter to ensure nothing can overflow into chamber 3 inadvertently...you could plug the pump and that's a bad thing. the inTank baskets are just a smart thing to have, period...so getting a second one to have a proper refugium is a good idea. :)

how do you think I could add a fine filter?

take a filter bag and cut it to size to hang over the pour-over vents between the 2nd n 3rd chambers? I'd probably go with a fairly big filter bag (as in big holes) so it wont' clog up  easily and choke flow.
