Hello all!
This is going to be my Nyos Opus 300 reef tank build thread. I’ve been in the hobby Couple years ago, started a tank had it running for 3 months but had to Sell the tank because of family circumstances. Im back At it again and started a Redsea reefer 170, while i was waiting for my Nyos to arrive it finally arived, after placing my order 6 months ago!
Its goung to be mainly lps and down the road ill add sps.
Here is what i got for equipments:
Ecotech Versa Four Pack VXF-1
Ecotech Radion XR15w Pro G5 2x
EcoTech Radion RMS XR15 Tank Mount 2x
Ecotech Vortech QuietDrive MP40wQD
Nemprotect Vortech MP40wQD Wavemaker Guard
EcoTech Vectra S2 Return Pump
D-D 300w Titanium Heater
D-D Dual Temp Controller
Nyos Quantum 120 Protein Skimmer
Nyos Torq Reactor Dock
Nyos TORQ 1.0 Litre Reactor Body
So first things first.
Im broke now! lol now that we got that out the way,
The Nyos Opus 300 came with beautiful dark blue back i cannot fault it, but i really like clear back it gives so much more depth and openness!
I have removed the paint and put a frosted film on the back glass.
But it was definitely not as easy as it sound! getting the paint off was an absolute nightmare they had different layers off lacquer on it. i tried every product nothing worked, then used hot water and a sharp glass scraper. when i first started i regretted it, as i thought this will never come off i ruined it! It literally took me 16 hours to get all the paint off, and had pain in my arms for 3 days after! but i would do it all over again because i absolutely love the results❤
I try to keep this thread updated as much as i can.
