Drilled IM Nuvo Black Nano 25 - Lazy Man's Reef

[Fishineer]

I wanted to cure my MTS and build another tank to get rid of the 3 other tanks that I have had set up. Currently sold one and have 2 two other tanks for sale. But I have had this tank for a few years and finally wanted to set it up as my first Sump Reef tank. I have learned a lot in the NANO world and I want this tank to be as Ultra Low Maintenance as possible. I also want most of the gear to be in the middle of the road. I don't want to buy my way out of a solution and buy an APEX controller, but rather figure out the best bang for you buck for an ULM Nano drilled tank.


The gear to start:

• IM 25 Nuvo Black
• DC Return Pump (Amazon Job)
• AI Prime 16 HD
• 50% Florida Crushed CoraSand / 50% Fuji Pink
• 15 lb dry rock
• AI Nero 3
• Eshopps CUBE Nano Sump
• YoLink DIY Controller

• Yellow tang in a 25-gallon tank ... ✔
• Imminent introduction to the Tang Police ... ✔

nice sump! I am running the same for my 25g cube. What skimmer are you using? It looks like the magtool skimmer.

Lol. I think we need to de-fund the tang Police. The yellow tang was a captive breed yellow tang that when I got it was about the size of a quarter. I'm probably going to swap it out for another baby in the next 6 months. I am just growing it out for someone else... Like can you even buy a full grown yellow tang anymore? And I bet if you put in a larger tank with other tangs it would just get merked as a baby captive breed tang...

I am looking to get ride of both skimmers and upgrade to something oversized and only run part of the day. One skimmer is a CAD Lights (RIP), and the other AuqaMaxx NF-1 Nano. I had this skimmer in an IM 20 Peninsula AIO.

I want to upgrade to an AuqaMaxx FC-120 once I sell said IM 20 Peninsula AIO.

I just bought an ultra reef skimmer, so I will let you know how it goes!
