Justfebreezeit IM Nuvo Fusion 20

[Justfebreezeit]

Hey that's a great tank. When you had 1 Kessil 160 - did you feel it wasn't enough coverage?

Yea exactly. I knew I wanted to grow acros so it wasn't cutting it for that except right under it.

For a tank on LPS & anemones only, do you think 1 kessil would be enough?

 

[Justfebreezeit]

Depends on what type of anemone most likely. Bta and rock flowers would be fine. Anything more light intensive probably not. Any lps would do good.

Been about a month since the last update.

Did a water change and battery of simple tests today.

Temp: 78.8
Alkalinity: 8.1
Calcium: 430
Phosphate: .01
Nitrate: 0

My nutrients are bottoming out so I cut an hour off the ATS's lighting period, its only been a week with it like that so I cant tell if its helping. Also feeding a little more.

Other than that everything is growing well, my algae issues are a fraction of what they were, and i'm keeping my hands out of the tank for the most part.

I'm thinking about adding another mp10 soon and a dosing pump. I'm having to manual dose 2 ml of 2 part a day on top of my kalkwasser in the ATO and its getting old quick! I'm looking at the coral box one, any suggestions would be great.

Monthly update!

Everything is looking good. Parameters very stable.

Temp: 78.8
Nitrate: 0-1 (nyos)
Phosphate: .018 (Hanna Ulr)
Salinity: 35
Calcium: 410
Alk: 8

I added the coral box doser and hooked it up. Other than that and some growth nothing much has changed. Can't figure out what to do with the Green Monti Cap, When its on the single frag holder it was before the current blow its off not that its bigger.

Monthly update

Tested params today

Temp - 78.9
Salinity - 35ppt
Alk - 7.9 dkh
Phos - .037 ppm
Nitrate - 0-1 ppm

I added another mp10 that someone sold for a decent deal on the forums, everything seems to love the extra and more random flow. The only exception being the pink hammer. Its not exactly peeved but its slightly less open than normal. Also mushrooms are encroaching the base of my bubblegum digitata and it caused it to pale where it touched. I'm trying to think of a way to kill them or something.

 

[Justfebreezeit]

Everything is growing pretty well. Have to kill zoas that encroach on my acros weekly now. Was able to sell those birdsnest frags locally for cheap. I've been planning my upgrade for black friday 2019. I'm thinking either a Red Sea Reefer 250 or The New IM NUVO 75g either INT or EXT. The tank needs to be 36" so those are what im thinking.

I also took the Kalkwasser out of my ato so i'm only dosing 2 part now. When cold fronts come through here in florida my alk drops due to less evap.

Current Params:

Temp: 78.2
Nitrate: ~.5ppm
Phosphate: .034
Alk: 8
