Hey all, just starting a thread for building a Nuvo 10 reef. A little about me, this will be my first saltwater setup and I have bit of experience with fresh water. For the last few weeks I've been doing tons of research which brought me to this forum which has been awesome so far. So here's the idea for my tank.
The tank will be home to 2 clowns, GSP and some LPS, plus cleanup crew. No plans for SPS
Tank- Innovative Marine Nuvo 10 (8W 13-92 GPH Return Pump)
Light- Used black AI Prime (crosses fingers)
Substrate- 10lbs Live Sand
Live rock- Still unsure on how much to use...any help here?
Heater- None for right now, i'll monitor temps to see if I need one in the future
Skimmer- Not sure about this one yet, I'm hearing most nano skimmers suck
Spin stream nozzle - It needs at least 56gph and my tank maxes at 92, so this is a toss up since it'll also drop my pump speed, maybe add a nano circulation powerhead?
Also, should I get a custom media basket, or the filter sock...both?!
I'll be buying most of this stuff this Friday, so any input before then will be greatly appreciated!
