Hello, I began reefing in 2007. Coming back after a few years absent from the hobby while we had two kids, and moved a couple times. This is my 3rd tank build. I started with a 90g mixed reef which was a great tank to learn about the hobby. After that I decided I wanted a dedicated SPS tank running zeovit. The 50g display cube was amazing and it broke my heart to sell, when we had to move.
Current specs:
IM Nuvo 40g AIO tank - 35lbs macro rock and 20lbs argonite sand
eshopps psk-75 skimmer
Icecap ATO
2x Vortech Mp10
STC-1000 temperature controller with a fluval heater
2x TLF Phosban reactor hanging on back running AF Life Bio Fil
Marine pure balls in sump chamber
TLF Kalkwasser reactor
Lighting:
2x AI Prime HD - BRS AB+ schedule for 12 hours rise/set
4x LET t5 retrofit - 7 hours during peak
ATI bulbs - 2x blue plus 2x coral plus (second AI Prime HD added)
Current Fish/Inverts:
Six line wrasse
Black comb blenny
2x Clown fish
Miagi Tort when first introduced to the system
Currently dosing: (updated 2/5/2019)
25ml AF component 123 daily
Kalkwasser every 2 hours via ATO
AF Build 1x drops every other day
AF Vitality and Amino 1x drops every other day
I also do a 10% Water change every 2 weeks with Fritz RPM salt
Thank's for checking out my build!
So here we are today and after a lot of discussions with the wife I had convinced her that we should get a 10g Nuvo with some LPS in it. Something that would be easy enough to maintain while raising our 3-1/2 year old boy and 9 month old daughter. However during the planning phase of the tank, my excitement of getting back into the hobby got the best of me, which could have easily led to a 200g+ tank. In the end I managed to convince my wife that 10g was too small and we "agreed" that a 40g would be a much better size.
