10g AIO Build

[|Frank|]

Been a crazy year for me. I had a 40b build a while ago and due to crazy circumstances it crashed. I since made it a freshwater tank until I have a more long term place to live. I was crushed and wasn't goin salt again... That is until I stumbled upon this epic deal on fb marketplace. So here we go, my 10g AIO build!

Tank: Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion nano 10
Light: Red sea LED 50
Return: Fluvall
Wavemaker: Current USA eflux loop system
Rocks: Some that I had from a previous build
Substrate: Caribsea Reef Sand
Heater: I think it's a PetSmart heater...

I'm super pumped about this build!

Calling it good for today! I put the water in and I started cycling with the Dr. Tim's method. This is my first time doing this method so any comments and help is appreciated.

I just came across your thread and it looks super dope! I kinda wished I’d documented my tank as well. I don’t think I can give you any advice since I started in sept and it seems you have a lot more experience then I do so good luck and keep me posted!

got some zoas!

I just fragged them out and spread them around my rockwork. The rocks they came on had tons of coralline growth so I put them around the tank as well!

How do you like the powerhead? Too strong?

You're very timely lol. For some reason it stopped working today so I switched it out with another one I had lying around. Still not working. I have noticed I'm getting good enough flow from the return pump so I'm going to invest in a dual nozzle in the near future. Corals seem happy. I do think it was a bit to strong as some zoas are starting to open up as they weren't before.

Also my fish are a little more lively...

Looking at those now as well lol. I like the currents but they stop working after a year or so of use. This is my second set and I got these because of the warrenty.
