Sooo...... Main Squeeze is out hiking a portion of the Appalachian Trail for the better part of the month, and I got bored. Left to my own devices, I decided my little Waterbox 10g I set up in my office a couple of months was already going to be too small for the amount of corals I have purchased in the last 2 Unique Corals and ReefTide R2R sales. I have a 90 gallon set up in the living room that is chugging right along ( gosh, I need to update that build thread), that has some easy corals, but I am keeping to the KISS approach on that one for now.
Let me preface by saying, I LOVE the Waterbox 10g and was very close to purchasing the Mini Penn 25, but it simply would not fit on my desk for optimal viewing and hiding equipment/wires. After much research, I have just purchased the IM Nuvo Fusion 20 pro.

Had some hefty reward points saved up at Marine Depot from a light/aquascape upgrade for the 90, so I saved a chunk a change on the purchase. Below is the planned equipment list. I have a most of the misc equipment already, so not much more to purchase other than the tank.
1. IM Nuvo Fusion 20
2. Stock Mighty Jet Return pump (stock)
3. Tunze 9001 skimmer - used on the 10g (may opt out of using since I do regular water changes religiously)
4. Kessil 160WE with controller - used on 10g
5. 100 watt random heater - used on 10g
6. Jebao OW-10 - used on 3 different tanks at some point and still going strong. Will upgrade to a Nero 3 or 5 in the future
7. Tunze Nano or Duetto ATO ( I use a Duetto on the 90 and love it)
8. 18lbs live rock from Gulf Live Rock plus random rocks I have in my 40B sump.
9. Substrate - 20lbs Tropical Eden Meso Live Meso Flakes (I LOVE this stuff)
Stock list of what I have now:
1 tailspot blenny
12 random zoa frags (Rastas, Scrambled Egg, Purple People Eater, Hawkeye, etc)
Duncan (7 heads)
Candy Cane (5 heads)
Stylophora Milka
Orange Monticap
Green Monticap
10 Ricordias
1 rock anemone
1 red mushroom
1 Superman mushroom
1 Bloodsucker Blasto (single head)
1 Dark Matter Micro
4 Cyphastrea Frags (Bizarro, Bling Bling, Double Trouble, Shooting Star) 3 will probably go in the 90g
1 PomPom Crab
I will add a couple of nano sized fish at some point. Haven't decided and open to suggestions.
The tank and live rock was ordered today, so I expect everything will be here this week. I will be building an under the desk equipment cabinet, and designing this is next on my list.
That's it for now . I will update as stuff starts to arrive! Main Squeeze will never leave me to run amok for this long again!
