Adam_T Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 So...I recently downsized to an Innovative Marine Nuvo 8, so I could focus more on a job opportunity that recently surprised me. Here is the info:Tank: Innovative Marine Nuvo 8 gallonFiltration: inTank Media Basket w/ Purigen, Chemipure Elite & Filter FlossReturn/Flow: Hydor Pico Evolution Mini 600Lighting: Nano Box Reef - Mini Tide (full spectrum, 11 LED's)Heater: 50w HydorCoral: Golden Aussie Torch, Frog Spawn, Rock Anenome, Purple Death Palys, Watermelon Zoas, Steel Blue Zoas, Armor of God Zoas, Nuclear Green Fuzzy MushroomsFish: No fish at this time...I want this tank as simple as possible. MAY add a clown goby...but I've never had a tank this small before so I'm not so sure.The coral in the photos aren't fully extended because they were without light for about 12 hours. I put the new light on and took the pictures pretty soon after.Photos (unedited): Update: May 2013 Evaporation? What evaporation? Thanks to Pico Aquariums for the custom filter cover. Link to comment
Adam_T Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Anyone have any fish recommendations? I'm thinking a single clown goby....or a wheelers goby. Something small and just 1. Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Tank looks nice. A yellow clown goby would do perfect in there, as long as you don't plan on any sps. Link to comment
jgpico Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Teal low clown gobies are cool but they tend to be harder to keep alive in captivity. I have tried twice and haven't had any luck. If it were my tank I would do a pair of green striped gobies or something similar. They are awesome fish and would be great for a tank this size. You have done an awesome job with this tank so far and I'm pretty jealous of your light, Dave makes some killer fixtures! Link to comment
fretfreak13 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 You definitely need some kind of hosting shrimp for that awesome nem! I recommend Pedersons!!! Link to comment

Obsessed Reefer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 How much was the cover? Can we get an updated FTS? Link to comment
Adam_T Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 The cover cost $27 shipped by Pico Aquariums. Updated FTS & Coral Pics: (pics taken quickly with cellphone, if coral look like they are stretching for light, it is because I am still acclimating them to LED. Don't want to burn them) Link to comment
AlexfromSATX Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Any updated pics? How are your corals growing under the mini tide? Link to comment
Adam_T Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'll take some in the morning. My LPS is growing very quickly, and the Anemone is amazing. I never do good with zoas. Link to comment
