My 40 gallon Nuvo build, only ZOAS allowed!

slayerhellfire · Jul 12, 2016

Hello fellow reefers I am back after tearing down my 110, decided to go nano again well actually nuvo, in fact a nuvo 40 gallon. I have to say I love these tanks, I wanted somthing more simple at this point in my life. Dont get me wrong having a bigger system is fun, but starting up the AIO is just well simpler. I have over 10 years experience in reefing, maybe more cant remember. So I got the nuvo 40 going with 40 pounds of hawian black sand which is uber nice, kessil A360W with gooseneck, all apex controlled, I mean everything is controlled which is even better, standard nuvo stand, 30 pounds of real reef rock, yes no more pest anenomes went high class on this! I will only house my orange and black clowns and my sixline that my buddy is holdng onto, and 2 fighting conches.

Always love to see people with the same tank as me! I'm thinking about buying the ghost skimmer, how has it done for you so far? Great looking aquascape and BEAUTIFUL zoas!

That's great! Half the people I've talked to have said to stay away from it but the other half says they're greatly improved since the last IM skimmer.
