Goodtimes with a IM Nuvo 40

goodtimes · Sep 11, 2015

IM Nuvo Fusion 40
Artic t247-B led fixture
Tunze 9004 skimmer
Vortech MP10
Tunze 3155 Osmolator

I recently moved and wanted to setup something a little bigger with a sump. With the amount of remodeling I have ahead of me and not knowing where the final placement of the tank will be I decided on another AIO.
The IM Nuvo 40 is a solid built tank. I'm not crazy about the dimensions but its working good for now. The glass and silicone are finished well.

The clowns stay in the anemone and don't bother anything. I had our anemone's but just sold three. The clowns aren't happy.

Thanks! This was going to be a simplistic aquascape, oops.

After much neglect I've lost a lot of coral. Things are back on track now.

What chamber did you put the tunze 9004 in? Did it fit

LetItReef · Oct 5, 2016

Cool!
Did you upgrade the stock pump?

The 9004 fits in the outside rear chambers. It has to go in sideways so the magnet is on the side of the tank.

I have not upgraded pumps yet but will very soon. The original pump is making a noise I can't seem to fix. I'll probably go to a Sicce 2.0

FYI the 2.0 will not fit
I'm using the 1.5 so far is one of the best upgrades done in my nuvo 40.

Thanks!

Are you referring to this one: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sicce-syncra-silent-1-5-pump-357-gph.html

In what way did the 2.0 not fit?

That's correct I'm using the 1.5 in my tank, I did previous order the 2.0 and I have to return it because didn't fit.
I did remove the protection cover and that didn't work.
