nuvo 10 lps and mushrooms

[nanonøkk]

ok so lots of problems have shown up like depression so i decided screw a mixed reef and i’m gonna keep what i wanna keep without all the hardness of a mixed reef and here were my problems
• bryopsis
• cyano
• low nutrients
• to strong of flow in the wrong places
• to big and tall of an aquascape

so this time since i know how to set up and maintain one now i’ll have no problems with keeping all these corals that i love and know how to care for so it’ll be easy for me in the long run because there may be a 40 gal coming soon

the set up
2x - 30 aquaclears
1 - 50w eheim jager
2x - marine pure blocks
1 - standard rimmed 10 gal
1 - ai prime hd
1 - kamore x1 pro as ato for now
10 pounds of sand and rocks

updating the list of corals there now will not be

1- miami hurricane chalice
1 - mummy eye chalice
1 - cloud berry chalice

due to the rocks i have i can make a scape that can fit the others though but the bottom will be covered in mushrooms because i’m spending money on a bunch of ones i like and also there will be a new coral a cursed candy cane

ok so i decided to get rid of all the chalices besides the space invader and the hollywood stunner and i’m also getting rid of my purple and green frogspawn

i also decided to skip the whole holding tank so here’s a picture of the nuvo that’s going up today
