Well,

 

Here we are. I had been looking for a Nuvo for a while, and one popped up, so here it is. Originally the plan was to grow the work tank by 10 gallons, but then I decided the work tank was fine as is.

 

It's a 16 gallon nuvo. I'm treating it the same as the one at work, and only running sponges and water changes. Possibly carbon in the future. I have added 5 different anemones, 3 of them RBTA's, and 2 of them some sort of rainbow BTA's. They are still figuring out the lighting and area. There are three different types of gorgonians in there, as well as a few zoanthids. The zoas will end up in the work tank, and I plan on seeing how many anemones I can keep. The lighting is stock, so is the pump. I'm not running a heater, but there is one in there.

 

Anyways, I know what all you filthy animals want:

Love that clown

 

Thanks! That's on of Fazios originals. It's got a platinum spot/dot on the other side, but it refused to turn around. There were no nems in the tank when I got it, and it's been in hog heaving going back and forth to them all.

 

I also have a Fazio original in my work tank, paired with a what was dubbed "whitewalker" clown fish from Operation Reef Ready. The two have been clearing the rocks lately, but I don't think the babies would be anything special.

Cool! I like the gorg and rbta combo. Fun little tank, gonna have nice motion to it.

 

On the gorgs, I see the grubes and ribbon...what's the third?

This is making me miss my nuvo 16. Looks great and I agree, that clown is gorgeous.

 

If you ever need a kick, you know how to find me.

Yes sir.

Thanks! I've not counted how many tanks. A lot. Simple is always best, IMO.

Looks great!  I love the simplicity of it all.  No skimming, no heating, no extra chemicals...no problem!  Just good clean water changes.  Amazing

Glad to see the RBTAs doing so well. 

Tell me: for the photos, are you using a lens filter or any post-processing?  Few photos from my own tank have that kind of color saturation.

I don't know, I miss having a tank your size! Grass is always greener...

We will see how long it stays simple. I have a habit of complicating things up, but out of sheer laziness and some occasional hands on time, I imagine it should be OK.

Thanks Matt. There are several in there, I've been collecting over the past few weeks. So I use a standard stock lens that comes with the Nikon, and I've made sure to edit my white balance. I also find that a lower exposure helps with the color pop, which I'll sometimes tweak post, but I always try to make it as close to what you see, and never use saturation.
