Never done a build thread, however the lack of information for adequate lighting coverage for a tank this size (nuvo 20) has urged me to. I started with one Aquaknight, quickly realizing I wanted two for shadowed areas, and then spent about a month researching lighting. I wanted fairly controllable lighting that was less than $500, be it one fixture or two. I stumbled across Noopsyche’s and figured for $250 I’d take the plunge, and boy am I pleased. Anyhow, here is what I’m working with:
Tank: IM Nuvo 20 fusion pro (MightyJet return)
Light: Noopsyche K7 Pro ii
Ato: Autoaqua smart ato lite
Reactor: BRS dual reactor (GFO + Carbon)
Power head: Jebao slw-20
Skimmer: None
Stand: Garage built
Livestock:
2x Misbar Oscellaris Clowns
1x Tailspot Blenny
1x Peppermint shrimp
CUC:
2x Turbo Snails
3x Astrea Snails
3x Blue Leg Hermits
2x Scarlet Hermits
1x Nassarius Snail
Coral (Mixed Reef):
Zoas: Purp Monster, Nirvanas (UGH), Super Saiyans, Fruit Loops, Stargazers, BamBams, Utter Chaos, Pink Diamonds, Rainbow Incinerators, Goblins Fire and a few no names that have become weeds.
1x Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone
Kryptonite Candy Cane
Frogspawn
Green Goniapora
Mint Green GSP
Metallic Green GSP
Green/Pink Toadstool
Peach Cloves
Green Cloves
Reverse Superman encrusting Montipora?
Red/Blue mushrooms
I set this tank up in August of 2019 after a 3 year hiatus from my last 75 gallon.
So far that’s what I’ve got going on. I just beat Bryopsis for the second time, and I am currently fighting bubble algae and Calerpa and I can’t seem to rid my tank of either. I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts or advice and thanks for viewing
