LPS Nuvo 8 Gallon

[Acro Crazy]

Hello! I am trying to brach out a bit from my local reef club forum and thought I would share a couple pictures of my nuvo nano tank.
Most of my reefing focus is on my 90 SPS tank but I started this little guy in march and its been really fun to maintain. This is my build thread from PNWMAS
James's LPS Cube

Gets some pictures.

That's a great looking little tank. Care to share you maintenance and equipment list? I'd be interested in reading more about it.

Thanks. There's better info on that link but the only equipment change so far from stock is the light. I went with the cherry aqua nano led which allows me to dim blue and white independantly. I also added a tunze nano ATO and a Reefkeeper lite for the lights and more importantly temperature control.
My maintance is pretty simple. I want this tank to be fun and not a chore so I chose forgiving livestock. I do weekly waterchanges but don't beat myself up if it goes to two weeks. I clean the filter pad at waterchanges and just replace the stock carbon/phos blocks monthly.

Thanks! I have a big of thought to the aquascape on this one. I wanted it to resemble a huge tree that used to be in the area before a storm tool it down. In fact it was the worlds largest Sitka spruce and it was really somthing to see.

I have the top of the rock work exposed out of the water so it really looks like its growing out of the tank.
Another thing I did was really glue/epoxy the structure together so if I need to, I can take out the entire form as one piece.

Also I didn't want to limit my options if I ever wanted to run a sump or other, I drilled a hole in the bottom and it works really well for water changed!!
