I'm slowly working my way back to the hobby and there are some things I'd like to do differently this time.. including having a QT process.
I still have some older equipment from around 2012 that I can re-use and get back going again, so I'm starting with a smaller system that will be my permanent fishless coral/invert QT tank in my office. This way I can get back in to making RODI water and saltwater on a small scale before figuring out how to do larger water changes and all of that.
My Nuvo 20 just arrived, but I still need to find or build a stand for it so it won't be wet for a little while.
For filtration I am going to keep it simple and just use Marine Pure balls wherever I can fit them and filter floss in the caddy. I doubt I'll use the filter sock since there is only the one that came with it and bioload will be super light.. but we'll see. No plans for a skimmer or reactors. Will just do regular water changes and see how parameters look over time.
For flow I'm going to use the included MightyJet DC return pump + a MP10 I had from before.
For lighting I'm going to try and match what my DT will ultimately use (Redsea LED 90s) as close as I can, so I have a Redsea LED 50 on the way.
Still need to figure out an ATO, I'm looking for any recommendations for a small tank like this if anyone has one!
