ddouglass January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Got a Innovative Marine Nuvo 10 for Christmas from the wife. Finally was able to acquire all the necessary equipment for it, so I set it up today. The equipment that I have on it is: -Mini reactor from innovative marine (had one just collecting dust in the basement so I figured I would use it for GFO) -Regular LED light (non coral light) -Ghost Skimmer (desktop) -Smart ATO I cycle all my tanks with Doctor Tim's One and Only. Works great, never use anything else. I have able 12lbs of dry rock and a 2 inch sand bed of Eden Reef Flakes (thanks Dip again for the sand). I have been looking around and researching fish and have 4 fish I'm looking into: -Tail Spot Blenny -Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse -Court Jester Goby -Pinkbar Goby (maybe a pistol shrimp as well?) Unsure which ones I will pick but this is a good start. I'm leaning towards starting off with the Jester Goby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddouglass January 12, 2015 Author Share January 12, 2015 I am looking to add a MP10 or some other type of pump as well as a XR15 Radion light. I have a reeflink for my other tank and connection between the light and pump is something I would love for this tank, but might be a little overkill.

rtelles January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 I see that you're thinking about a pinkbar goby, but I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend that you check out a Randall's Goby. They look similar, but their stripes are thin and orange and a bit more pronounced, and they have this really neat spot on their back fin. Mine is pretty peaceful and has paired with a pistol shrimp. That said, the pinkbar is pretty darned nice as well. Goby/shrimp combos are my favorite - can't really go wrong with them. Love the aquascape and look forward to seeing more updates.

ddouglass January 15, 2015 Author Share January 15, 2015 I saw Randall's goby, I'll have to check the fish out again. I do agree it's a pretty fish. Thank you for the complement on the aquascape:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddouglass January 23, 2015 Author Share January 23, 2015 Update on the tank, I put a MP10 on the tank. And put some empty shells from my main tank that had some coral algae on it. After a few days it's starting to grow on the rocks . I also seeing some brown algae growth as well so the tank is maturing great. No fish yet but soon. I do want to add some pods fist to try and get them going. Also the parameters are great as well. Will post pictures later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
