Hello! My name is Alex. Im not very new to the hobby but new to the forum. Im a frequent user but finally decided to join and introduce myself. Ive kept a few different nano and pico reefs, and currently have a 125 Fowlr. Very recently, I decided to pull the trigger on a tank I've wanted to setup for quite some time, which is a IM Nuvo 20. This is my first AIO setup and I'm loving it.

The tank has been up and running for less then 2 weeks and believe it or not my parameters are all in check and im getting a nitrate reading of 25. I added 20 pounds of live sand and 20 pounds of dry rock. I also kicked the cycle off with bio spira. Im still going to give the tank some time before adding any live stock. Ive made the mistake of rushing into things before and we all know how that goes.

Heres the current equipment list:
-IM Nuvo 20
-IM APS stand
-2 Kessil A160WE with kessil controller
-MP10QD
-Ecotech battery backup
-Sicce Syncra 1.5 return pump
-Auto Aqua Micro ATO
-Trigger system saphire ATO reservoir
-Cobalt neo-therm 75W
-Finnex heater controller
-IM mini max reactor
-IM ghost skimmer

Im going to post some pictures of it, let me know what you guys think!

Looks like a nice system! Welcome to the forum!
 
Hey guys, just want to post a little update. Ive added a few fish and just picked up my first pieces of coral yesterday. Im still learning all the different species of corals so if anyone can help identify the two besides the hammer, it would be much appreciated. As far as fish go, I've added a clown goby, royal gramma and a purple firefish. Any feedback would be great, thank you!

Looking good. The red one is dark in the photo, but looks like Acanthastrea (Acan). They are often touted for their reds.
