IM Nuvo 20 Mixed Reef

[fengshuicorals]

Hello, fellow Reef2Reefers!

I'm thrilled to share my latest venture with you all - my IM 20 Nuvo nano build. I've decked it out with an Ecotech Radion XR15 G6 light, which I believe will truly bring out the best in my reef inhabitants.

Equipment Rundown:

• Main Tank: IM 20 Nuvo
• Lighting: Ecotech Radion XR15 G6

Coming Soon:

• IceCap K1-Nano Protein Skimmer (keeping that water crystal clear)
• IM Nuvo UV sterilizer (to combat any unwanted microorganisms)
• 4 Versa dosing pumps (with both auto top-off and precise dosing of alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium). This should provide the perfect environment for my planned diverse coral collection!

The tank has been up and running for two weeks. To kick things off on the right foot, I used TurboStart on the first day to cycle the tank. By the end of the first week, I introduced my current livestock - a striking pair of Mocha Storm Clownfish, sourced from @KoralKing store right here in Gainesville, FL.

I'm marking my calendar for the one-month milestone, post which I'll be welcoming zoanthids, acans, chalices, and euphilia. And as the tank finds its rhythm, I'm considering some SPS corals for a splash of variety.

For all reef enthusiasts who'd like to stay tuned to my tank's journey, do follow my Instagram account @fengshuicorals. I'll be updating both the Instagram and this thread with photos, build details, and the highs and lows of my reefing experience.

Thank you all for being such an inspiring community! Your insights, tips, or any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Let's dive deep into the wonders of reefing!

Awesome! I have the same tank and love it! Can I ask what skimmer you use? I bought mine used and it says Ghost autogadget skimate. I cant seem to get it to owrk anymore. I am not exactly sure if it came with the tank because it dosnt say innovative marine. Thats why I am asking is incase I need to replace it and hopefully you could give me some advice on one to get if its not the same one!

I hope you tanks is coming along nicely!

I am fixing to cycle a 20 gallon frag tank! Any advice on quickly cycling it? Its been years since I have cycled a tank! I am about to make some orders from brs or saltwater aquarium for my own xmas present lol so I can add what I need to get it going!

I just used live sand first time and it took forever. The other time I had lots of live rock but This time I dont have any live rock to spare but do have some media I can use from my tanks

Bro...I love what you are doing with yours... I am upgrading my Light system (Going with some A8 Pro) similar to the Radion X30 Pro G6. Currently have RedSea 90's that I took off my larger system that I recently upgraded the lightning to; system operating on the Apex System.

I'm also in the same boat as you trying to look for the right skimmer currently, I have been able to get an MP10 to add to the aquarium although I need to pick up the skimmer, uv sterilizer, and ATO still. When cycling the tank I used TurboStart by Fritz Aquatics. Bring the water to local fish store till they slowly tell me when to add fish or corals as the tank eveolves.

Amazing aquarium love it, I am thinking of going with mostly all zoa tank as I think this would best with the aquascape and room I am working with in this aquarium

Updates:

Bought a new MP10 for the aquarium and got in this week

Next steps:

Is to get skimmer, ATO, dosers, and UV sterilizer.

So I did a complete overhaul on both tanks...went with 4 brand new G6 Pros XR15... One on my nano and three on my 108 system... (A video of me reaching out to RedSea) but the lights are in the opening

Great set up.
I have the same tank which I did some custom changes.
My build thread is here if that is helpful for any ideas on ATO, skimmer and so on.
