Cp32 IM NUVO INT 75

[cp32]

Hi I just purchased the IM NUVO 75g complete reef since the 100g isn’t available . I was wondering what do I need to buy to prepare for its arrival ? Right now on my list is : lights , heater , wave maker

Please advise me on what else I should get ready . Just looking to expand with a all around reef look

Currently I have a Fluval evo 13.5G that has been up for 13 months .

Congratulations.

An ATO is a must. What are your plans for the tank?
Water containers for SW. Salt mix.
Multiple wave makers.

That's quite the system. :)

Thanks. I outgrew the EVO but that was almost like a freshwater tank . It didn’t have sump / skimmer etc . So not sure what to expect .

Will add the water containers and salt mix ! Didn’t even think about that . I just bought the RO machine and and lights .

Any updates on the tank? I have my eye on this one as an upgrade.

Everything up and running . Cycled using Dr Tim’s , took right around 10 days . Added bio bricks from another tank for extra bacteria

Added some covers for the Radions from some recommendations on here , Eel River Corals make some really good quality ones . Didn’t realize how bright the lights would be

Moved over the clowns from my old tank

I believe you need a ROÍ system not the RO is for fresh water if I am wrong I apologize

I also have the 13.5 evo thinking of going bigger soon wanted to get my feet wet in salt and thought the evo was a great choice going to a 55 with a sump
