Hello my fellow reefers!
I received a 20 gallon Nuvo for Christmas and am ready to set this bad boy up. It’s in the perfect spot in my living room and I just purchased the AI Prime HD from a member on this website.
My question is what other things do I need to set it up to get it going? I purchased a custom Caddy for one of the chambers and I was thinking of adding filter floss up top, chemipure elite in the 2nd chamber and 3rd chamber having MarinePure spheres.
I am debating on changing the other chamber to a custom caddy as well and putting filter floss up on top and actually doing a Refugium in the 2nd and 3rd chamber but do I need that right this second? The light is not expensive but I need to still buy the live rock and sand which LR could add up quickly. Can I just leave the filter sock in there for now then get that a month or two later?
I was debating on going rock that was live but I don’t want to have to go through the bleaching stage so LRock would be easier.
Also, I would like to purchase the ghost skimmer as well but do I need that right this second too? Again, trying not to dump money all at once.
What are your thoughts as I would like to get some advise on the matter.
Thank you!
Aaron
