Mr.Rocc's 40 Nuvo Build (Picture heavy!!!)

Mr.Rocc · Apr 28, 2016

First I wanna talk about how great @AlgaeBarn is with there customer service. As soon as I bought the product I got confirmation emails. As soon as it shipped I got an email. And lastly it showed up exactly when it was supposed to. They made ordering so easy for me and I would recommend them to anybody!
With that being said I also added a watchman goby to my tank. It's such a beautiful fish but not very active. However I just bought him yesterday so we will see.
Lastly I here's my parameters, I will start dosing 2 part next week since MG and CA are low but I think I'm doing good so far.

What phone app is that? I use Aquarimate and AquaticLog.

Well this was a quick one. I had this goby for four days and I think my LFS sold me an anorectic fish. He just refused to eat. Rip little guy

It's been a while but I have an excellent update for everyone.
1st, I had a calcium issue where I wasn't getting enough calcium out of my water. I started mixing my own water and I'm up to 410 ppm. I also added 3 new corals and a sweet little clownfish! Can anyone name these Zoas?

@powers2001 it's called aquarium note off google play

I wouldn't write off a fish so soon, I had a bangaii cardinal that didn't eat for a month and he started eating and behold he survived.

Mr.Rocc · May 8, 2016

It went upside down and my nassarius snails were eating it.... he was dead lol

powers2001 · May 9, 2016

Okay I thought he was still alive just not eating--my bad. lol Can you get your money back from where you bought it.

Mr.Rocc · May 9, 2016

Nope! I put the blame on myself and they are a very helpful when I go in there. It was only 20$.
But they were very apologetic.

Mr.Rocc · May 15, 2016

Well just a quick update! Everything is doing great and growing great!

Well here's a little update with some new corals!

icedgxe · May 25, 2016

It's looking good! I like your rock work. Lots of room for more corals!

Mr.Rocc · Jan 28, 2017

Well guys for those of you who have taken a look at my build here I apologize that I have not been up to date with everything. However, today was my very first frag swap and it was amazing. There was so many sweet people with amazing corals. Of course I only brought cash since the credit card would totally start on fire at one of the events. But none the less i walk away with a ton of stuff and a lot of knowledge. I will be trying to post more including today's purchases.

Mr.Rocc · Jan 29, 2017

So as I promised here's the update!!! So I upgraded my skimmer to the Aquamaxx HOB-1. I wasn't a fan of how the Tunze was working on my tank. The Aquamaxx works wonders!! Secondly, I changed my light from the Kessil to SB Reeflights. I know some of you are going to think I'm crazy but I didn't like how the light focused so much on one spot of the tank I wanted more visible coverage. The light is working great! I then had a strange dip in my salinity because my skimmer bubbled over... rookie mistake. However I got it stable and its back to normal. During this time I also switched over from IO to Aquaforest and so far its great! So here is some pictures. O and the first pictures are what I picked up yesterday at the Frag swap!!!
