Hello,
I have two newly setup IM Nuvo 15 aquariums and I am in love. They are both currently running stock return pumps, I believe they are around 130~ gallons an hour. I have added on the tank lids, and one has a freshwater Ai Prime, the other will have an AI Prime reef.
I recently purchased the filter media baskets for both of them. I’m currently running what they came with which was Cottonballs, GFO and rox carbon. I was recommended to put poly filter in them both since I run tap water.
What additional purchases should I look into getting for these two tanks?
One is going to be a green mantis tank, and the other a pistol shrimp and small goby tank. Macros in the mantis tank and softies and lps in the pistol shrimp tank.
For the filter media and the baskets, should I be using the cotton balls, gfo and activated carbon? On top of Polyfilter? Should I swap, drop, or add anything additional to the three little chambers? (I don’t have a clue about what I’m doing.)
One additional question I just saw - it states refugium ready - what does that mean?
Thank you!
