IM Nuvo Concept Pro 20 encore

[Cell]

I came across this yesterday and think it's a pretty cool concept. I'm trying to brainstorm different ideas on how to utilize the separate tanks. If you havent seen this before, it's basically 2 separate 10 gallon tanks fused together, but have completely separate plumbing/pumps.

I was thinking maybe a different designer clown/nem pairing in each tank or maybe a mandy on one side and pod production in the other. The IM stock photo shows what looks to be a planted FW tank on one side and SW on the other. It could also be a nice QT unit etc...

Anyone else know of this product and have ideas on what they would do with it?

I should add, part of my interest is that it's on sale for only $42 more than the Fusion 10 pro.

No, never did. I still think it's a cool concept though.

Agreed. My only concerns are light spill if you are running for planted on one side and reef for the other ... and if there is enough room in the back for adequate filtration, skimmer, heater, etc. They do not do a great job of showing the set up in the back.

I wonder if they would be willing to do 40 gallons for each then spilt in the middle. So 80 gallon total, 40 fresh, 40 salt. Hmm, even 40 total with 20 20 spilt would be interesting. Issue with 10 is for reef side, I would feel pretty bad to keep fish in a such a small thing.

I emailed IM, they will not do this. :/

I picked one up everyone!!! A really nice couple posted it on marketplace for $100 and I couldn’t say no! My wife and I are thinking about taking a side and doing our own styles. She’s thinking zoa/paly garden and I’m thinking euphyllia garden. Maybe some sexy or harlequin shrimp. We want to do a build thread so hopefully we will keel y’all updated.
