innovative marine 20

Got this a few weeks ago, wont be able to set up anytime soon. The tank is still sitting in the plastic wrap and has not touched any water. Cost me over $500 with tax and shipping and now I gotta let it go cause life comes at ya fast... in any case if you're looking to start up a nano reef then...

I'd like to use this 20G AIO I have lying around as fish QT tank, until I get a simpler QT tank. However, it's very difficult to get to remove water from the areas in green, in the back chamber of my 20G AIO. I'm concerned I won't be able to remove copper completely, and won't be able to use...

I recently purchased a Innovative Marine 20 Fusion Pro but right before I started setting it up, I noticed these bubbles in the seam. Should I consider resealing? The bubble is about 2 inches in height and about a 1/4 of an inch wide. I plan on having the tank set up long term. Any advice will...

Hi all, As a newbie reefer, I have to ask the big question. Dry rock or live rock? I'm terrified of getting bad hitchhikers, but I understand the benefits of live rock. My tank is shipping as we speak, Innovative Marine Nuvo 20 gallon.

First tank in several years (First ever was in 2007), I made the cardinal sin of choosing a smaller tank, and I have already started planning the upgrade, should be about September when I start piecing that together, will be a 75g Innovative Marine INT. For now, the IM 20g Fusion Pro (first gen)...

So I've been running an IM 20 with skimmer for a few months, I am still fighting microbubbles at times. I expect bubbles after a water change or feeding. But not constantly. I hate it. I've added some filter padding after the skimmer to try and trap bubbles but I still can't seem to eliminate...

Today i am offically starting my Nuvo 20 Build thread. i have been waiting to start this tank for about a two years and the time has finally come. The goal of this tank is to be a mixed reef tank catering to multiple types of coral and about 3-4 fish. As you can see we are rocking a ton of...

Hi guys! Here's my first build post! This used 10g tank started out as a QT tank for my 55g a year and a half ago. 11 months ago I decided to move it upstairs as a little nano tank! Fast forward to last weekend, I bought my first brand new IM 20g AIO and upgraded the nano tank. Innovative...

Anyone selling an Innovative Marine 20 Peninsula in south California?

Just got the OK to put a reef tank in my office. I have done a 3.7 pico before, but it crashed after a year while I was out of state taking care of my mom in hospice for 6 weeks. This one I wanted to be in my office where I will see it everyday. I will be posting updates and am open to...

Hi all, I have a 20 gallon long peninsula style tank that is about 30 inches long and 12 inches wide. I was wondering if it would be better to have one Nanobox Duo Plus M or two AI primes since they would be comparable in price. The nanobox would probably look more clean since it is one light...

Latest pic [12/01/2019] I’m building this tank along side of my Red Sea Reefer 650 Peninsula as a nano display, frag and quarantine tank. I must say these Innovative Marine tanks are built quite nice! Both light and wave is being controlled by Neptune Apex that will also control my larger...

Looking for lighting program suggestions. Kessil suggests 8 to 12 inches above the water line. I have a Kessil A360x over a 20 gallon Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion with pro screen over the tank. I also have the Kessil Narrow Reflector attached which "increases the center light intensity by...
