I would be interested to know how the new NuvoSkim DC performs. Same goes to how it compare to Ghost. I have the Ghost Skimmer and it does alright considering. I am not really impress with nano skimmer in general but it does a somewhat alright job. I have been considering removing mine all together given the light fish load I currently have. Given there is no control on the DC pump...what's the point then I wonder?

Is that your first fish? Congratulations. Tank may be a bit small for him so watch for aggression. Looks like a beautiful specimen.

Update. Got a pair of black storm clownfish and a RBTA

Hope you have better luck pairing the two black storm clownfish. I have a pair and had to separate them due to harassment abuse .

Hello! Old thread but how are you liking the Mighty Jet? Does it fit well in the rear chamber?

Had a saltwater tank 5 year ago, recently got back in the hoppy with aquascaping (2 tanks). After coming across 100 vidoes on youtube about saltwater tanks i decided to give it another try and get back into the saltwater. I ordered a IM Nuvo Fusion 20 gallon on August 30th. Decided to just order the essentials first:

IM Nuvo Fusion 20 gallon tank
AI Prime HD
Vortech MP10QD
Cobalt 100w
2 IM custom caddys
Salinity refractormeter
Flipper nano
ATO Reservoir 3 gallon Narrow fit
Smart ATO micro
Mighty Jet Desktop DC Return Pump -326 GPH

Pink Fiji live sand
17 pounds of dry rock
Saltwater and RODI water from LFS

Eventually going to get:

Skimmer ( dont know yet)
Fish will be Black Storm clown fish
The craziest color Zoas you ever seen
Torch corals

.....Thats all i got planned for now

Set my tank up on September 13th.
I tried to cycle by ghost feeding but was taking so long decided to use Dr. Tims Ammonia. Got a light diatom bloom on my sand a couple days after. But then got a major bacteria bloom about 2 weeks ago. Waters not cloudy but just have what looks like a white film on my rocks and on the back of my tank. Going to let it keep cycling and hope it goes away. Might scrub everything off and do a major water change. I heard that water changes really dont help bacteria blooms and it would just slow down my cycle. Thoughts?

Well ill keep updating this thread through out the whole process.

First 2 are my aquascape tank that got me back into fish tanks then the bottom is my IM Nuvo Fusion 20 gallon.
