hey guys here trying to build a show quality tank out of this IM nuvo fusion 50.
i started out in with fresh water fish tank when i was younger (about 15 years ago now)and it was very successful...as time went on tho i grew bored of the fresh water hobby and just ended up giving everything away to a friend (it was a parrot fish tank and a few discus communal fish's with fresh water plants/log aquascape)
fast forward a few years and now that technology has gotten way better i thought to myself why not jump into salt water fish tank and really challenge myself...but i just dont want any live stock in this tank...
my goal is to have a show caliber tank with nothing but expensive/rare coral/livestock.
(mostly sps/lps but its going to be a mixed reef)
so i watched millions hours of youtubes videos/REEF2REEF lurking and....
4-18-2018: took me a long time to finally choose a all in one tank and my LFS had 1 in stock so i picked it up and brought it home
Items Purchased:
- IM nuvo fusion 50 AIO with stand
4-19-2018: i went back to my LFS and i got cycled live rock and RO/DI salt water and started aquascaping and putting in all the sand/water.(this is the first set up but i end up changing it a few times as you'll c in the build) so i started the cycling process.
Items Purchased :
- 2x 20lbs Carib sea fiji pink
-40lbs of live rock
-50 gallons of pre mixed salt water
- Instant Ocean Bio- Spira live bacteria
- Dr Timms One and Only
