1bitereefer Nuvo 20 build

[1bitereefer]

Hi All, 

 

So as my wife and I and slowly doing renovations to the house, I had to shut down my Reefer 350 for the floors and paint to be finished in the living room, I am moving my livestock to a Nuvo as the tank was relatively young about 8 months. 

 

Equipment:

Tank: Nuvo 20

Stand: Homemade

Skimmer: Ghost DC skimmer 

Reactor: IM Minimax running GFO

Heater: Cobalt Neotherm 100watt

Powerhead: Vortech Mp10 Qd

 

the plan is to tank a cup of sand from the old tank and a rock and some marine pure for to start the tank and move the clowns and coral over next Wed when the heater comes in from BRS. 

 

Here are are a few pics of stand and tank. 

Plan on making my first meeting Saturday and meeting many of you. 

 

Also im open to any recommendations and help along the way as a novice Reefer.

Awesome, I’d love to see pictures for inspiration.

I'll make a tank build thread one of these days. I keep forgetting I don't have one on here.

Just an update on the Nano. I have since added the clown that I had and pick up a new one from HOT for her to have a buddy. I also moved the corals and some sand and marine pure to cycle the tank. I have yet to run the reactor,  as the tank has had no trace of phosphates. The only thing I have not moved over is my CUC. Should I add them now, or wait till the tank starts to have some algae? 

 

Only thing let on the build is to finish making a control panel for the spectral and Mp10 controller.

Coming along. I’d wait a little to move the CUC over. Looking forward to seeing this come together.
