20 gal IM NUVO Drop Off Build

[NaClH20Reefer]

While waiting to get the 90 gallon filled sometime next week, I figured I’d post a little about my other tank that has been up and running since January. I set this tank up originally with only LPS/Softies in mind. When I decided I wanted to build the 90 gallon along with maintain this tank and the 65 I began to put some SPS in it and if they did well I’d move them into the 90 gallon later on. This write up won’t be as detailed as the 90 gallon. More pictures than text.

This tank is doing great! Everything is growing great especially after moving some stuff around and turning my AI prime HD up to AB+ settings from BRS

Update on this tank.
Have transferred everything into my 90 gallon build and had listed this tank for sale.

Decided to keep it and place it in the lobby of my office.
It will now become a NEM tank. First one went in today.
Also took out some rock to open it up some.
