NanoBox Red Sea 170 : New Video 1/30/19

[DaveFason]

It has been a wild ride with many different AIO tanks, no filter tanks, etc. I have had a Red Sea 170 in my spare room sitting there for eight months and finally decided it was time. I am extremely excited to be back with an actual sump, normal skimmers and just easy reef keeping.

 

I will be updating this tank weekly to show results.

 

• NanoBox Duo
• NYOS 120
• IM Nuvo Pump
• Nero 5 X2
• Tune 6020 ( In Sump )

Super simple and back to the basics. I pick up corals that I enjoy and really looking forward to this tank maturing.

 

 Enjoy in 4K. 

 

Photos/light graphs to come but for now here is a video.

 

Enjoy!

I'm new with sumps....why the Tunze in sump?

Only a couple in the video. The tank has a ton of favia's right now. I few that are flat out mind boggling!

I put this in the same chamber as the skimmer. This allows for it to stir up anything down there and make the skimmer collect for junk. I also move it around once a month. You will be amazed how well it works.

Looks great Dave! I feel you on the AIO thing. It's really nice to have a sump. I'm picking up some live Pukani from Tampa Bay Saltwater at the airport tomorrow morning for my Reefer Nano.

Looking forward to it. It'll be refreshing to see a cool Favia tank. The patterns on some are seriously surreal.

When you do get a FTS up, be sure to include that beautiful NB Wide Quad fixture in the shot too!

[DaveFason]

Awesome, really cant wait to see it. You will love the tank.

Thanks and enjoy yours. I really have to give it to Red Sea on the setup for plumbing. While I feel 100% with plumbing most people are not. However they are so easy it is almost comical!

Nice Dave!

The video have the FTS. I am actually being a punk and using an old Quad housing and not a wide. I recently had a few orders coming in so I needed to use what I had.

Favias are my favorite. I'm excited to see this thing evolve into a nice reef.

[Cscultho]

What type of fish are you keeping? Looks nice...

[flobees]

Looking at getting the same tank. Do I need a quad ? Can a Duo be ok on this tank? Thanks

[DaveFason]

Thank you and I totally agree. Seems that SPS and mushrooms are the trend. Meanwhile I will grab all the favia's I can.

No. This is one I had in the shop I needed to use. The Duo can do it.

Nice! Digging the upgrade.

 

Do you still have the other reef tank? I'm wondering where that big ol' maxima is.

[DaveFason]

I had fun last night shooting stills and video. I am really enjoying this tank more and more each day. The NYOS skimmer is really starting to pull out nasty skimmate. Joey from Joe Knows Reef sent a small care package of a couple corals.

• Red Zoas
• Setosa - One of my all time favorites
• Short Polyp Pink Goni
• Rainbow Chalice

Enjoy the photos!

Looking good, Dave! I just put a powerhead in my sump for the same reason. I love your coral selections too, a lot of classics in there

[charlesgage]

Can we see a FTS with your light on top?
