Hello,
I have had my new tank setup wet now for about 6 months. It is a IM Nuvo 20 AIO. Started with around 15 pounds of dry rock and 3/4 of a bag of special grade sand. Have a MP10 set at 60% lagoon mode, Radion Blue G6 on AB+ set on 30% with high intensity lens and diffuser to try and reduce as much light spill as possible. AI Axis 40 return pump set at 65%. Below I will add my par readings using a apogee 420x as well as my tank parameters that I have been able keep for the most part stable with dosing All For Reef and 20% weekly water changes.
Hoping for any input on any potential things I am overlooking or improvements. Also any input on coral placement as I have been picking up frags slowly as I come across them and doing my best to place them in proper places as well as keep in mind potential aggression and growth. Trying to go with LPS mainly with a few SPS and softies in higher and low light areas. Thanks for any info.
