After getting into the hobby about 3 years ago and having several tanks from, Red Sea Reefer 250 to a 350. Then downsizing to a nuvo 20 while we remodeled the basement. It is finally done and I am back with a Nuvo 40EXT. I’ve kept tanks with tons of LPS and soft corals and the plan to go SPS dominate on this tank. This will be my first time keeping SPS. This will also be my first refugium. I’m hoping to use this build thread as a way to get help on the venture to sticks.
Equipment List:
-40EXT
-DIY stand
-MP10
-Apex
-Cor20
-Kessil a360we (do I need 2 or could I supplement with a T5 hybrid setup?)
-Trigger 20C sapphire
-Neptune Dos
-20lbs Life rock branch
-20lbs Life rock
-Tropic Eden sand
-Neptune Trident (whenever I can find one)
-Deltec 1351 skimmer
The plan is to take this tank very slow. To go about 3 months with just the 2 Clowns I have in Quarantine until I see some coralline algae and the tank feels like it is starting to become sustainable enough to add Sticks
