SouthFlorida_Tron Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 They don't go away at night. The tank has flow, there's a power head in the tank. Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Are your nutrients under control? You could try chemiclean, it worked well for me. It doesn't hurt anything if you completely follow the instructions especially the aeration and water changes. Quote Link to comment

Angry-Monkey Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi everyone, another nuvo 10 here. This thread and the individual journals have all been super helpful getting me back into the hobby. Started a new journal, link for anyone interested: 1 Quote Link to comment

Tautoo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hey fellow Nuvo 10 owners. Has anyone upgraded their return pump? I upgraded to a mj600 when i first set up the tank, and feel like it was too much flow. It would cause the water to go into my front right clip, and run down the side of the tank a little each day. I swapped back to the stock pump, and it seems to be a LOT better, what a waste. Would a spin stream be worth it to use the mj600 and stop the blasting water? I have a mp10 in there, so think it may be better to just keep the mj600 for mixing water. Quote Link to comment
Mckinney0171 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I use the Sicce 1.0 return. Works great and is plenty of flow even with the spin stream installed. 1 Quote Link to comment

My mj600 was pushing too much water to the front of the tank / splashing it over even with it angled to the far corner, and its only likr 160 gph or whatever. Quote Link to comment

So hopefully it will work! Does anyone have a sps dominant IM10? Quote Link to comment

Lula_Mae Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I saw this tank in person for the first time yesterday at an LFS, nothing in it, just the tank. It's definitely a very handsome setup! Quote Link to comment

CrazyEyes Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Picked up some rock from a friend today. Just need to epoxy the pieces together then get some water in this thing so I can start cycling the rocks, I'll probably just add epuipmrnt over the next couple months while the tank is cycling. . 1 Quote Link to comment
bonjorno2 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hey I need some help quickly! I am leaving my house due to the hurricane and I plan on taking my tank so I can keep everything alive in case I lose power. That being said is the tank strong enough to support less than half of the water in it with some sand and 8lbs of LR? I'd hate to drain some water in a bucket to transport and pick it up to have it come apart! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

I think it would be OK if it was less than a quarter full, but I'd worry if it was half full. Do you have a cooler? You could just put the water, sand, rocks, and everything right in the cooler. Or even a rubbermaid tub. Good luck! Let us know how you make out. Quote Link to comment

I'd hate to drain some water in a bucket to transport and pick it up to have it come apart! Thanks in advance! I would not carry a glass tank half full with water. I would put the rock/livestock in a bucket/cooler and throw away the sand. The sand might cause a ammonia issues if it is disturbed from trapped debris. You can just buy new sand later. I hope you stay safe, If I was in Irma's path I would be taking my fish with me too! Quote Link to comment
bonjorno2 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I can catch the livestock two clowns and a sexy shrimp and put them in a bucket and take the water down further. I'd rather not stir up the sandbed when moving and last time I had a another 10g I setup and used for the hurricane last year. I may just put a piece of wood under it and use that to support the weight and drain it down a decent ways. I have a few 5 g buckets I can use if needed. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
gone_PHiSHin Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 i would separate the livestock and the rock and keep them in separate buckets, and discard the sand and start fresh once you are settled, just like the two other responses. think of the new sand as a 'thorough cleaning' of all the built up waste, and it's very cheap in comparison to a cracked tank! fish/reef tanks aren't exactly easy pets to just pack up and take with you but it's something you have to do in this situation. all i can do is hope the storm swings north and out to sea! good luck but most importantly be safe and take care of yourself, your friends and family! 1 Quote Link to comment
