My First Tank - IM Nuvo 40

[js1620]

Not sure on the dimensions/space you have but I was going to put this in my Nuvo 60 might fit yours also. I don't know much about skimmers.

Curious to know what skimmer others use in their Nuvos. Have read a lot of negative reviews about the ghost skimmer and a $300 skimmer for my tank is too much IMHO, unless I was trying to keep it hidden. Your tank requires the next step down ghost skimmer.

By far the best skimmer for this tank and yes it fits in the second chambers so you can still use filters in the first chambers.

Nice job. I have the same light and mount. What's your light schedule? I'm running the AB+ from the Bulkreef supply video.

So I have added some additional stuff! Added more sand. The sand I bought initially was the "live" sand and was a little difficult to get in the tank. Went to home Depot and got some 3inch and cut a funnel. Cloudy for a few hours but good to go now.

I'm running a slightly modified version of a LFS profile.

Sorry for the super late response. its not too bad. I moved this tank to my office. running a sicce 3.0 now. 9004 tunze DC, you can hear it, but its not too bad.

Dang how did you fit a Sicce 3.0 in the return chamber? I went with a 1.5 in my Nuvo 40 as I heard even the 2.0 is a tight squeeze.
