Innovative Marine New Fusion 15 build

[Tuan’s Reef]

I pre-ordered the new IM Fusion 15 that should be delivered at the end of October 2022. The kit was only $99 and comes with a DC return pump. I will upgrade the return pump and install 2 RFG nozzles for flow.

I ordered the Noopysche K7 Mini 60W LED to go with the build.

This tank will be bare bottom with live rocks from TBS i've been curing for 4 months. I will be running a skimmer and filter socks for now. Hoping i can find someone with a 3D Printer to make a filter fleece roller that can fit in the tank.

Current system equipment:

Lighting: I will be trying 3 different light setup. Noopsyche K7 Mini, Kessil A160WE , and Radion XR15 Gen 5 Pro

Return pump - Jebao 1500 DC - dual nozzles with RFG's

Flow: Hygger mini wave maker 1600

Filtration: Tunze 9001 with small Ice cap CO2 scrubber, Media caddy with Siporax bio media and filter floss

ATO: Gravity feed bottle system

Heater: IM Helio PTC 100w system connected to Inkbird for redunancy

I've seen a few 3D-printed fleece rollers for nano tanks, but they'll all manually advancement.

Manual advancement is fine as its still better than changing out socks or throwing out filter floss. lol

I picked up a Kessil 160WE today . Should be a fun comparison between the Noopysche and the Kessil for look and Par. I have the Apogee MQ510 par meter to run some tests.

Following as I have one ordered as well. Do you think I'll be ok just running dual nozzles for flow or should I use the rfg's?

 

[Tuan’s Reef]

With the right return pump, I think you can run just 2 nozzles or even 1.

I'll be using the Mightyjet 326. I'm thinking the dual nozzle will restrict it a little bit, which is fine because the 326 might be too strong, but will let me target multiple areas for better coverage.

My Kessil 160we Tuna Blue arrived today. Came with the gooseneck mount. Will need to get the controller. I am thinking I will use the Hydros controller for this build. Going with the IceCap K1 Neo skimmer for this build.

Are you going to actually run both or are you going to see which one performs and/or looks better and run one?

So for lighting I have 3 options at the ready for this tank. Radion Gen 5 Pro, Noopysche K7 Mini, and the Kessil A160

I'll run some tests with my Par meter and see which one i'll end up with.

 

[Retro Heat]

Please let me know the par readings for the K7 Mini since this is the light I'll be running with. =)
