Another update! Today i picked up a Tunze 9004 DOC skimmer got it installed and working, lets see how she does! Also i picked up a Icecap 3k Gyre, and wow what a diff!!!!!! I cant set it over 40%, have it set on 30% random mode. Though the Gyre is a bit loud i suspect it will quite down after break in. Will post some update pics later

Hope you enjoy the skimmer it has worked great for me. One thing I did was take out the clear plastic peice at the top of the overflow and that helped big time with room. With it on the skimmer cup is pretty tight and can be a pain to get it off. Also would like to know after you have had the gyre for a while your review for it. I have 2 mp10s in my nuvo40 and thought about changing them to a gyre.

Love it, man. How long are you planning on keeping the Yellow Tang in there? I've been trying to decide whether or not I could get away with one of those or a Flame Angel.

I have been feeding Reefroids once a week, spot and broadcast feeding the day before i do my weekly water change. At this point i am dosing 10ml of DKH and 5ml of CAL 2part that i get from my LFS, i do not dose Mag since i do a weekly 5 gallon WC (68% monthly total). At this point i will not be getting any more frags for about a month or so just so i can get a hang of this tanks consumption rates.

*Nitrite 0
*Nitrate 0.5-1 ppm
*Phos 0.02-0.05

SUBSCRIBED! Just got a 40 Nuvo set up and running myself. Where do you put your heater? Mine seems too long to put anywhere in the sump area...
