DeepSea's IM Nuvo 40 Build

[DeepSeaReefer7]

New additions
The pistol shrimp took off and the yasha decided to stay out and hang it even started eating 5 min after being put in

Yasha goby and pistol shrimp made a home right where I wanted for now at least

yesterday i finally got the rest of my equipment and got it installed on the tank i had to make some big adjustments that i dont know how a feel about yet

i purchased a tunze 9004 Skimmer with upgraded controllable DC pump
the only place it would fit was the first or last chamber i was hoping to fit it in the 2nd or 4th but i was wrong
so there goes one of my media baskets i had to move the purigen over to the other media basket and put it in with the chemipure blue.
I also moved my marinepure spheres from media basket #1 to under my chateo in chamber #4
does anyone see a problem with that? i didnt want to lose all the biologicals and take them out of the tank.

i also got a ATO used which the seller forgot to send the power supply cable he fixed his mistake and is sending me the cable should be here Wednesday

As of now all the livestock and corals seem to be thriving and growing very well
i am feeding the corals 2x a week of reef-roids.

tomorrow is our local fragtoberfest im very excited im hoping there are deals to be made
im looking for an octospawn, blastos, and acans, im sure i wont return empty handed

i will update with pictures saturday night after the swap

Quick update
My nem is a dick and decided to move, went to the top of the rock scape I guess it could have been worse had to move some of my sps

Picked up some baby Halloween bounce shrooms, and a nice sunkist bounce shroom

Also finally got my skimmer and ato going

As of now I need to cut back on my spending

by the way, how high are you running your light? i’m getting a lot of spillage on the walls and floor

I have the 16 inch flex gooseneck so maybe 12-14inches
Pretty high only because I have 1 AI prime when I should definitely have 2 on this tank

really? I disagree. mines really really bright. it goes way over mine. feel as if I need to go lower. i got the tank mount. not the flex, but it’s about 10” off the water

Totally! Been running my in tank fuge with chaetomaxx light for almost a year. I get 2x-3x growth every 2 weeks filling the back chamber (shown in pics). I cut 1/3 off the mass and throw 2/3 away. Sorry to jump in !

Thanks for the pics and info!

Did a little rock scaping and reorganizing of my coral
On the left is going to be my hammer rock and on the right my zoa garden
Picked up a nice frag plug of bam bams
Dragons Breath micro-algae

Last night at my LFS I found a yasha goby which is rare find in my state for some reason
Picking it up today along with a pistol shrimp
I might through them in a breeder box together to get them acquainted lol

Any and all feed back would be greatly appreciated

Great looking tank!
