IM NUVO 40, one year update

[thatsaltyreefer]

Hey,

Just wanted to spread some All in One love:

I think it is time to upgrade to a bigger tank!
Also interested in seeing other AIO tanks that are out there!
I have more details on the tank build linked below:

I just made my nuvo 40 a reef instead of planted

I just started my Nuvo 40 AIO in late October so I’m at about 6 weeks now. How soon did you add your corals? I’m impatient by nature but trying to responsibly wait for the right time to add... I completed my first (5 gal) water change on Friday and my water parameters are spot on. Also plan to do 5 gal changes every week while I get it going. What was/is your routine? Beautiful tank, btw!

You can add them immediately

What should I start with? LFS suggested I wait until it is more established. When I asked how long, they said “the longer the better”.

 

[40g Nano]

You can get easier ones like softies

imo, the tank should be established if you want acros or other sps

You can start with leathers, mushrooms, Kenya trees, Xenia, zoas, etc

you can look up “beginner corals” and you will find a lot
