Innovative Marine NUVO Fusion Pro 2 40g Long AIO Build

[slowwrx137]

After not adding any corals/livestock since the end of November I had the urge to add something new. I opted for a 8-pack of rock flow anemone's. They arrived last week and have been in the tank for a week now, I think they're mostly settled in as they haven't moved much since I placed them last week. Here's a few current tank shots with the RFA's.

Tank is looking good!

Good choice. RFAs are some of my favorites. I want a few more even and I already have 11 bahaha.

Oo, I like that yellow disk RFA!

Thanks! I'm loving them too so far.

Thanks! I'm becoming a fan of them, will probably add more at some point. I'm going to try to hit up Reefapalooza Orlando in April so maybe that'll be my next batch.

Thanks! That's my favorite at the moment too. I have 3 Orange/reddish ones in there that might look pretty cool, however, I cant really tell because they decided to stay out of the light in the rocks.

Took me a little bit longer than just the weekend but everything is finally setup and ready to cycle. I'm very happy with the tank so far.

Send a pic update! Have you made any changes? How does it look?

First off, thank you for this build thread! I have the same tank currently on the way.

I see you've made many changes to lights and gear, but would love to ask, how do you like the aquascape? If you could do it again, anything you would change/rearrange?

I really struggled with the aquascape when setting up the tank and I've never really loved it. Not sure if its still the norm or not but historically it was recommended to do 1lb of rock per gallon but 40lbs was way too much so I tried to use as much as possible which I think makes it look a bit too crowded/full.

If I were to do it again I would probably use even less rock than I did and rearrange in a better way. A couple of the rock flower anemone's moved to the back of the rocks recently so they're hard to see now. Ideally I would have it setup in a way that I could see both sides of the rocks so I'm not only trying to put corals on the front (this seems like it'd be a major benefit of a peninsula tank).
