IM NUVO EXT 40 Reef Build

I didn’t ever get the original photo of this acro but started logging it a few weeks ago. Nice encrusting going on.

Another small frag but I have an older photo for this one. This was broken off of a friends wild he had got. Originally it had white polyps that I miss but the side that hits the light is like green fire at night. It’s finally starting to show solid encrusting.

Sorry to hear that you had a tough few months, but really glad to see things are coming back together and the flatworms and getting killed off successfully. Recovery is looking really good and hopefully it'll continue for you!

Still moving forward.

Welcome to R2R! Coral pics looked awesome!

A few macro photos. I had done a bit of work in the tank and the torch wasn’t back to happy yet.

Updated photos.

Last two are blues only. I don't think the photos look better this way. I was just curious.

Wow it's been awhile since I updated this thread. I haven't changed anything with the tank in the past 6 months. Just let the corals do their thing. I think switching to kalk for part of my alk/ca dosing made a huge difference in growth with it increasing the PH. I also have the skimmer line run outside. I dose 20ml of All For Reef daily with 900ml of fully saturated kalk. Tanks using about 0.7dkh/day.

These photos are about 30 days old but show the tanks turnaround since my last post. As always I do my best to show the true colors of each coral being shown but do take a little artistic expression on contrast etc.

Your tank looks great! I just placed an order for IM 50-EXT so I was looking for some build threads of the same tank for inspiration. You have a gorgeous tank man! I'm going to go back when I have time and read through your entire thread.

My tank will not be delivered until end of May so I have some time to plan my build.

Thanks! It's nice to finally have the tank take off and not worry about every little thing.

Great tanks. I’ve only had a good experience so far minus my own goofs of trying to paint the stand. Wish they had offered white stands two years ago. Drop a link to your build thread when you start. I’d like to follow along.
