IM Nuvo 15 Build

It’s pretty much plug and play , you will need to cut a couple inches off your return hose but nothing major. @TacticalReef

Did my first ICP Test , It’s good to know everything is in line.

I was expecting my Salinity to be off , not trusting the Hanna Salinty Anymore. Explains my slightly elevated Mag and Ca readings but slowly over the month will bring it back down.

I will also note this tank will be coming to end this month and be getting upgraded to the Fusion 20 hopefully those extra 10in of space coming in handy to add more coral, I will be transferring everything over other than sand. hopefully will be an easy transition.

Gonna be sad to see your 15 shut down but looking forward to your 20.

Love this build! I am starting up my Nuvo 15 this weekend. I have an Axis 40 coming for it and was wondering if you needed any additional tubing or connections or if it fit the stock return tubing provided.

Did you ever end up setting up the Axis 40 on the IM 15? If so how do/did you like it?

I had mine set up, Loved the idea of how much extra space it gave me and plus having control on one app is always a plus

I did set mine up. It is super quiet and a great addition to the tank. I did need to use a heat source to make the stock return line stretch to fit the Axis 40 outlet.

Beautiful set up! Looking great.

How is your BTA doing? Have you had problems with it moving around and getting settled? I'm about to add one to my 20g.

Which chamber did you have the uv sterilizer in? I just got mine, and it says to put it in place of the filter sock chamber. Seems like that little black sponge won’t provide enough filtration. I see you have a roller, so just wondering where you put the uv.

I had it in the return pump chamber using the IM universal UV but to be quite honest the pump on those are no good and loud. I currently run the filter uv on IM20 and changed out the sponge with filter floss does a good job
