Innovative marine Nuvo peninsula 20 log

[Reefermadness89]

Polyps on the acro seem more extended, deff saw some nice sweeper tentacles last night that was pretty cool!
I’m honestly surprised as these lights aren’t the best and it’s not even cranked to full power. Color and overall health of the acro seems fine, so Atleast at 6-8 inches this light does the trick for sps, if in a few months time I see actual growth, I might try another sps in this tank, but for now, she just needs to grow out

Everything is looking good, I am about to start a new IM 20 gallon peninsula. Want to take my time on getting it all cycled and up and running. My other tanks I did not, and got away with nothing but luck.

Yeah I’ve gotten lucky so far for the most part. Currently have the smallest touch of gha but it’s starting to receed/get eaten and less feeding my tank

Zoas don’t even look like the same plain tan zoas I bought not long ago, tons of silver spots, super pimp.
My larger hammer coral colony has opened up a bit more and I think I like it more than the purple hammer, just cause of the brightness. Moved the smaller less opened into the shade cave as it still hasn’t opened up very much.
Acro way more poly extension and it’s got sweepers at night for sure, going to have to relocated ether acro or the zoas. Considering a mag ledge for the acro and other possibly super easy sps.
I love the grubens gorgonian and it seems to be loving my tank the most, tons of flow were it’s at, can’t wait to cut a few chunks out and spread that out.
Finger leathers look better but still pretty ghostly. Might pull the worse off one
And leave the other for a bit.
Need a second wavemaker for this tank for sure

Here's a blurry picture of mine today. But that not why I'm posting--look at the refugium I got yesterday. Should have it up and running by Friday.

THats a serious mini Fuge. Was going to go with a Fuge tray and light and put mine in the center slot of filter area eventually

Alright guys here’s an update on what store going down.

We are down a maroon, a friend liked the misbar and they helped me get this far so it’s gone to a new home. I’ll be giving
Him this one when I find a decent frostbite I like.

I’ve added a sexy shrimp, they only had one I will get a few more though. He’s pretty cool when he’s not in the rock or hidden away in the hammer or elsewhere...
My friend gifted me a very small diamond watchman goby.
He’s shacked up under a rock and is messing up my fans as we speak. I’m glad I decided to go rocks then sand so they don’t topple when he re decorates lol (they are glued in formation tho)

There’s also a new nem, seems like a lta or something, I was told it was a rock flower, but I knew pretty quickly it wasn’t, but he sold it to me for very very cheap so I figured I’d try it out.
It’s on the sand and moved all over to get off rock and onto sand, I hope it stays there
For easy removal if I wana get him a bigger Tank, getting a 50low boy for Christmas I think..

I also got a gravity no power ato. It was pretty cheap on amazon, I can post link so if anyone is interested. Basically one tube goes into the water a bit and the second tube goes right at the desired water level, and it works great.
It only apparently takes 1L Evian water
Bottles, my 20L takes half or so in a day, might mod a bigger container in a hidden shelf over the tank or just refill every other day, no big deal and it was cheap. On a bigger tank a better ato for sure but it’s a small tank, why waste the cash.

I’m seeing new heads on my zoa (4) and every one of my hammer corals have new heads on them as well, stupid exciting.
My Grubens gorgonian is loving life, and that green slimer acro is actually showing a little growth and great polyp extension, I’m surprised these lights cut it, but no complaints from me!
Ditched my mag float for a flipper nano as well, and I got a small filter floss holder for the filter section, the filter bags are stupid and want to put a removable mini fugue under this basket with a little modification obviously.
Everything is perfectly stable, more so with the ato now, and maintaining my calcium at right 350-400, dosing 2part nano every other day, no other dosing.
Here’s some pics, comments and advice on how I can improve isn’t always cool.
