Yeah, there is a long owners thread on the Nuvo than can help but it's quite long. I would definitely do the Tunze Skimmer instead of the Ghost. I actually own both and there is no comparison.
I would also use an IM reactor for biopellets or zeovit because it can be tough to control nutrients in the small setup. What sort of livestock are you planning? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've seen the thread and it's quite long but there seems to be a lot of good information. It's just a matter of finding it. As far as live stock. I'm looking to get a clownfish, flame angelfish, purple fire fish and a mandarin later on once the tank has matured. As well as some beginner corals

Nice setup!
What are those powerheads your using? It looks like the cords are on the outside? Is it similar to my Intex pool light where magnets hold the two halves together and powers through the side? I have a jabeo wavemaker and I can't for the life of me get the suction cut to hold it to the inside wall. I did pick up the whole setup used and am just plain sick of in tank suction cups! |

How do you pump the Zeovit media in the IM reactor? I read that the media has to be pumped and not just tumbled. How long have you been using it?

The IM reactor has a removable compartment that makes it very easy to remove and shake-agitate the mulm off the stones.
The tank has been setup for roughly six months now and I'm starting to get some really great growth with my SPS the last couple months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I love writing IM 40, hahaha, anyways I too have an IM 40 and currently have two clown fish. Im thinking about getting a yellow wrasse and a midas blenny and maybe a shrimp.
I have a question for you other IM owners though. Is it normal to get algae in the sump? My light is a kessil and it shines into the sump as well as the tank and the tank gets no algae probably due to my CUC, but I noticed the sump has algae in all four chambers hanging on the sides a bit, not bad but it is there ...

Thank you! The clowns have paired up, I tried unsuccessfully in past tanks but the key for these two was adding them at the same time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
