Well, it took less than a year and getting rid of every piece of fish gear I owned to make me super sad and unwilling to continue to go reef-free!
Short backstory: New job, new house, tank crash means no more fish when we moved. I was sad and couldn't take it anymore so I figured out how to get a tank at my office.
I just couldn't shake the desire to dig back into a small reef. I was looking for something that would give me a break from the daily doldrums without an overwhelming time commitment. I've had a IM Nuvo Fusion before and liked the tank but didn't really want to repeat myself with the exact same tank so I settled on the new Fusion Pro 2 14 gallon peninsula. A little more water, a little more space for coral, and the peninsula style should fit very well with the area of the office set aside for the tank. So here goes nothing. Please join me as I set up some Legal Liquid!
TANK: IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 14 G peninsula.
R. PUMP: IM Mighty Jet 326 gph DC pump (included with tank kit)
LIGHTS: AI Prime HD (white) w/ "L" mount as opposed to flex arm
FLOW: AI Nero 3 + split return
ROCK: BRS Marco dry rock (~ 8 lbs)
SAND: Carib Sea Ocean Direct (5 lbs)
SALT: Tropic Marin Syn-Biotic
HEAT: Finnex HMS 50W Titanium
WATER: RO/DI w/ 5 stage BRS Value Plus unit
ATO: Osmolator Nano
CONTROL: Neptune Apex (hoping for a Black Friday sale!!!)
