Thanks a lot for the response and explanation. I need to read up on this system more. Sounds very interesting. Is the mini max reactor a sufficient t run this system? |

Ghost skimmer and caddy on their way.
I too may run a zeo system in a reactor. Had success in the past with it and it's close to a natural progression with nutrient export. Good info on that... Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Yeah, I was surprised at how well the IM reactor worked for this application. For a tank the size of the nuvo, Zeovit calls for .3L of stones and the IM holds .35L if I remember correctly. Many don't like zeovit because they don't disclose the ingredients but you should look through some of the tanks that run the system. I decided to try because the results and pictures of the tanks really speak for themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Anyone using the CC as a fuge? If so what light are you using with it?
I think this is the route I'd like to go. |

How is the mid size Ghost skimmer for our 40g nuvo?
I'm trying to decide on a skimmer but I see the reviews not so great on the mid Ghost skimmer with issues of micro bubbles. |

The zeovit tanks look amazing. The colors are incredible. I know nothing about this system. I need to do a lot more research before I try something like this. |

Most of the complaints are about a long break in period. Once past that it performs well. I'm accustomed to doing modifications and adjustments on skimmers so I'm willing to take the chance on this one based on design and fit. I guess we will see. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

taat2d, I was explore using the CC for fuge, on MD they have great video about some hacks, and this is on. They use a led light with magnet and peel a small section of black off the back.

Got my hand behind the tank. It was easy to cut and peel off the black backing. Got the IM MagnaFuge light and hopefully I'll be able to get some chaeto and pods on Sunday. |

I peeled off just enough to uncover the left side custom Caddy. On the right side I plan on using chemipure and purigen. As far as getting behind it to take pictures... this is the best I could do. LOL. Sorry. Top Side |

Friend or foe? This morning I tried to get a photo of the chaeto and fuge light and I see THIS... is it what I think it is? If so what's the best course of action to get rid of it? Should I just dump the chaeto and start over? I just added the chaeto to one of my custom caddy's and 2 bottles of pods yesterday.

Ghost is in!!! I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. The microbubbles are just about nonexistent and it's already skimming. I just put a small piece of filter pad between the skimmer and the pump chamber to be safe. Without it...the bubbles were so minimal. I love it...dropped right in and is already doing it's job.
Caddy is also in with some phosphate media and chemi pure. Also got a sick deal on a bleeding Apple Scoly...couldnt pass it up. Looking fat and happy. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
