426HEMI October 26, 2012 Share October 26, 2012 Always wanted one but never went through with it until yesterday. Innovative Marine Nuvo mini 38. It is one of the all in one designs, very well constructed from what I can see thus far. Got the Innovative Marine 92 watt tablet light as part of a package deal they were running. Very bright, still seeing spots from when I turned it on to test the first time. 40lbs of aragonite sand and about 18lbs of Fiji live rock. Instant Ocean salt. Got it all set up in one location then decided to move it and ended up rearranging the entire living room. Got it filled up the second time and let it stay there. Empty with moon lights, tablet has day, moon and sunrise/set lighting options. Empty with day lights on. Hard to capture how bright this is with a cell phone. Was too lazy to break out the DSLR. New location with salt, sand and LR in it before it clears up. This morning after it had cleared. Only inhabitant is a hermit crab that hitched a ride on one of the rocks, hopefully the little guy will make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

426HEMI October 26, 2012 Author Share October 26, 2012 Hammer and frogspawn. Pics are crappy, but the FS is a bicolor green and purple and the Hammer is green. Both look amazing in person. Both were taken under moon lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

426HEMI October 26, 2012 Author Share October 26, 2012 Mobile Xenia Snail racing by the GSP Jacques the cleaner shrimp. He has molted two times thus far and seems happy. Very cool personality (if a shrimp can have a personality) and loves to clean my hand at every opportunity. My 6 line wrasse doesn't appreciate his cleanings though.

426HEMI October 26, 2012 Author Share October 26, 2012 Everything looks great! Very handsome set up. Sleek. I like it. Thank you. I already am making mental plans for the next tank down the road. I will be much bigger and not an AIO. I do like this tank though, as does my wife. Very modern looking in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
