I figured I should create a thread for my Innovative Marine Nuvo Lagoon 25 tank so I can see the progress and changes over time and to share with you all. The tank is almost fully stocked but I do have a bad tendency to sell and get new stuff. :scarry:

 

The tank has been up and running since beginning of October and most of the stocking were transferred from my previous 40 breeder.

 

Equipment:

 

- Innovative Marine Nuvo Lagoon 25 DIMS: 24x20x12

- Mame Skimmer

- JBJ stand

- OceanRevive T247 LED light

- Koralia Nano 425gph

 

 

Current Stocking:

 

 

- Two clowns (one false and one true)

- Tailspot blenny

- Pistol Shrimp

- Sexy shrimp

- Fire Shrimp

- Cleaner Shrimp

LFS had anniversary event going on today.

 

Purchased:

 

-Watchman goby: woke up from nap and found him in filter floss in the custom caddy. He must've swam through the overflow. He hasn't paired with my pistol shrimp yet and has been acting funny, swimming up and down against side of tank. Hope he doesn't jump out.

 

- Tailspot blenny: love this guy. I have one at work and decided to get one for home.

 

- Anemone crab: seems like he's chilling with my rbta but not very active.

 

- Sexy shrimp: hoping he's going to host the mini maxi but seems to like my big frogspawn more so far.

I love the dimensions of this tank. It looks so much bigger than the 20. I have a 20 in storage waiting to bet set up, and now I wish I would have waited for the 25.

Also, how are you liking the Ghost Skimmer? And did your YWM survive being in the filter floss?

I like the skimmer. It's mostly broken in now after a week and pulling tea color skimmate. I'm still getting some microbubbles (very little) which doesn't bother me too much. Noise has greatly reduced as well.

 

Yup, the YWM is still alive.

Looks very nice, how do the one false and one true clown get along?

 

Pretty well, no problems between them. False perc is larger so she's the dominant one.

My flame angel has died. Seems like it was due to ich. Thoroughly surprised how fast my emerald crab ate him since I was not able to find him at first until i saw him picking on the small amount of meat that was left on his bones.

 

Thinking about trying out a coral beauty angel next. I'm going to wait a few days to make sure the tank is ok.

 

Also I am trying out the mame skimmer on this tank. The main reason is due to the noise from the ghost skimmer. I love how quiet the mame is and seems to be pulling good skim so far.

 

FTS today:

Sorry bout the Angel, definitely give it a couple of weeks to be sure the Ich hasn't taken hold. Looked into the Mame as an alternative as well. Looks like imma have to go HOB because I like a re really quiet tank.

The mame skimmer leaks some microbubbles every once in a while so I moved it to the display area so it doesn't fall into the return pump.

How's the jbj stand? I was considering this too because it's almost half the price and I've actually seen it in person before and thought it was decent. Does it fit the tank well?
