Hey all, I picked up a NUVO 15 AIO cube a couple of weeks ago, I told myself I would take my time building this nano reef and not rush it. I bought a nice peice of dry live rock, and suported it in the tank with a basic piece of dry rock. I then added the sand all around it and filled it up with saltwater. I added a Hygger 75W heater to it and a 30W Hipargero reef light that I got off of marketplace (not pictured in this pic)
About a week later while the wife and I were at the LFS looking for some intro soft corals for her nano tank, I saw these two Gold Nugget Maroons. I had seen them earlier online and said to myself "Those are F'n awesome, on eday I'll have those", and so I decided that day was today (not actually today today) and I brought them home and acclimated them. Now they are happily paired off and are the only fish in the tank. I know they will get much bigger than ocellarus, but they will get upgraded in the future to a bigger tank. For now they will be the only fish in here as I build the reef. Also, I have dosed the tank with Fritz9 and Seachem Stability, and its getting weekly water changes.
(sorry for the screencap, I've yet to get any good actual pictures of these two)
And then about another week later, I was at the same LFS pcking up a magnezium test for my rescue saltwater tank, and I grabbed this small bit of GSP.
So far that's it. I want to add a small protein skimmer soon and I need to get to reading on more corals so I can add some in a month or so. If anyone has any tips or recommendations on mods for this cube I would love to hear them!
