Sangheili's Innovative Marine Nuvo 24 - aka How I ruined my carpet

[sangheili]

Picture time!

 

First up is the main display:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now my new frag tank!

 

 

 

And here is the shipment I got in today:

 

 

 

 

Note the white rock in the Nuvo tank is white because I had some bryopsis algae starting to grow onto it from a frag so I stuck it in the freezer.

 

And lastly, I just noticed a few small spots of Coraline growing on my circulation pump! A good sign

Holy shipment! That's a lot of new frags! Main display and frag tanks are both looking awesome! Looks like you are getting some good growth on your corals. I'm still waiting for my first sign of coralline, just started dosing Kalk and am hopeful it will help.

Wow. Thats a nice shipment.

 

How many bags of Purigen and chemipure do you use? Wondering since there are two sets of media baskets. Any chaeto?

One purigen and one chemipure elite. No chaeto. Also use a little PhosBan.

Is that a custom made frag tank? Acrylic?

Yep! Advanced Acrylics from California. Very nice tank!

Using just 1 media basket? Phosban in bag or reactor?

[sangheili]

I use both baskets. The left one is only the stock media + filter floss on the top. The right is filter floss, purigen, phosban, and chemipure elite. Phosban is in bag.

 

I may eventually split the media between left and right so they get a little more flow through them.

Wow holy shipment

Yep! Advanced Acrylics from California. Very nice tank!

 

 

That is who i thought it was from. He does some great custom work. I was also looking at the AIO frag tank you have here with a reefbreeder or buildmyled light for some Z&P's to grow out.

[Cameron6796]

Very nice what all do you have for flow on the main tank. how much was your frag tank and how many gallons is it

Two spinstreams + Korallia Nano 425. Frag tank was just over $200 and its about 15 gallons I think.

John from A.A Advanced Acrylics does great work. I have seen multiple tanks of different sizes when i'm down in SD for work.

[Cameron6796]

Cool that's kimda what I'm looking for cuz i don't want to sump it unless I have to

[sangheili]

Officially past the 3 month mark!

 

Here's a picture of the wicked Rock Anemone I picked up yesterday. The color on this thing is insane with the blue lights on full - BRIGHT orange/red center. Picture's cannot do it justice, it literally glows neon.

Thanks for the kind words! It really is an accomplished feeling to see everything thriving so well with minimal effort.

[Cameron6796]

[sangheili]

Really nice setup! I have the Nuvo 16 and I hope that I don't have any problems with the glass.

[MiddReef]
