Just picked up a 40 nuvo a week or so ago. Just picking up a couple final equipment pieces and I can get started. Super inspired by your build

Wow! That means a ton to me, truly! 

 

What pieces do you need? I guess I'll check your journal out!

Not a stick I’m guessing. 

Nope. I would never. I don't trust myself enough with sticks. The most expensive stick I bought was $75 and it made me sooooo nervous. Still does... 

 

Let's just say imma name it King Midas...

haven't started a journal yet. Im still deciding on a heater (cobalt neotherms have a bad rep, and are hard to find, but people are hating on eheim jaegers as well. Heaters are lose loser it seems.) and whether or not i need a icecap 1k gyre, and thats about it.

I don't like the gyres. They'resuch a large piece of equipment to have in the DT and I hear they need regular cleaning. I highly recommend the Nero and I've owned jaebo, mp40s, Tunze, current USA you name the powerhead. Nero is by far my favorite. 

 

As for heaters I just picked a big external controlled one on Amazon with good reviews. Heaters are heaters. The technology behind them is old and standard so you can't really mess up with a heater haha.

Honestly this is sort of a poopy pic.

 

I rescaped and remounted King Midas so when he's less pissed off and the tank fixes itself I will get some MUCH better pics.

Yeah my lfs hooked me up. It's a larger head probably going to split in the next few months I hope. 😬

Really excited about my rescape. I'll hopefully get pics tonight. 

 

This is by far my best attempt at keeping coral and healthy fish. Been doing saltwater since I was 10 and never had it quite right until now so I'm stoked!

 

Especially since I'm in a part of my life I can splurge on coral it's been fun 😊

 

Updates to come!

Looking good matteo. Hows that t5 treating you?

Loving it! I am using two Actinic bulbs so not much growth expected but I LOVE the POP it gives for the coral. I rely on the 4x pucks for the main lighting. My Royal Blues are at like 89%, Cyan at 30%, Violate at 55%, and White at like 8% lol.
