IM Nuvo EXT 100 SPS2020 Build

[SPS2020]

This makes me want to start a new reef tank right away!

Wow, thank you!

Latest FTS showing amount of water flow in upper left corner. Added an MP40 to the lower right back; now there is almost zero detritus on the bottom.

September FTS...the patch of zoas and coralline on the bottom seem to like it here. lol

December FTS (low light):

Thanks very much! If you need Acro frags, I'll set you up CHEAP! lol

Lol I see your postings all the time. The prices are so good and the frags are so chunky that it's hard not to take the gamble. Doesn't really make sense in my softie, anemone, and LPS tank, but if I change my mind you'll DEFINITELY be my first call. Thanks!

Black silicone is very smoothly applied and looks nice...for now. We'll see how this holds up through the years.

There's no silicone on my acrylic tank and rounded front corners, so this is a different experience. Existing tank has been up for around 10 years until the recent breakdown and rebuild a few months ago.

Hi I'm thinking of the 100 ext as well. thanks for posting this picture. BTW how has the back acrylic wall held up so far? did they apply glue over the enitre acrylic wall? on to the glass? How is the tank? any cons/pros

So far, so good with the tank. I really enjoy the size of the tank...not too big and not too small. The acrylic wall has been fine and no issues (knock on wood). I'd prefer it was glass so that cleaning would be easier, but I use plastic (credit cards) to clean to minimize scratches.

Thanks, after asking around. I went ahead and place an order for the IM EXT 100. There's a 40% sale on the EXT 150 and it comes to better pricing than the 100... so tempting but not enough space in the office room!.

I saw some other post that IM changed the acyrlic back wall to ABS. I will know when I get the tank at the end of march

Looking forward to seeing your build thread!

I called them up today. Spoke to Brian, confirm tanks arriving end of March and the plastic back wall is now abs instead of acrylic.
Will start a new thread soon.
