Matt's Nuvo 30L

Rmxjr67 · Aug 8, 2019

Goodsht bro nice pieces ibacually lost most only favia when I went topless changing the lighting I was having problems with it before. Not too coming from what I've read but it was fighting with my acan and loosing so I had to move it. Then it didn't like where I moved it think it was the flow but after moving it 3 times and changing everything up top think the stress got to it.. think I'ma replace it with another acan and possible try my luck with fusing

I hope all of these do good, i have spots for all of them where they wont be competing with others, fingers crossed.

Replaced my stock return pump this morning. The pas5 few days it has sounded terrible! Ill try to post a video. Replaced it with a Marine Aqua DC 2500 from Amazon. Had great reviews os fir $55 i figured it was worth a try and I'm impressed so far. The build seems better than the Jebao DCP i had on my other tank and it is dead silent.

Idk if it will play but here is a video of the stock pump. It sounded very annoying. I took it apart several times, couldn't find anything wrong and it constantly made the noise.

Thanks! I really need to post an update. Maybe this weekend when I get my new phone I can take some updates photos and get them up here.

Looking good ! The paint job on the stand is amazing !
I have been going back and forth about getting this tank.

Good looking tank, i have ran a nuvo 30L aio for 2 years now. About to make the upgrade to a reefer 250 in the near future, already started buying the equipment and cycling rocks in a tub for it now.

Thanks! I actually downgraded from the reefer 250. It was a very nice setup, extremely sturdy!

Thanks! I was a little afraid of the size front to back but once I built the scape I wanted I just cut the back off of the rocks so it was flat and room hasn’t been an issue.

I can send you the program i run for LPS/Softies, it is blue heavy nu i have lots of others. I have found no benefit to running a moon light all night and stopped a long while back. If you would like some programs just pm me your email.

I’ve noticed if I don’t run a moonlight at night all the soft corals completely close up where as in if I leave a moonlight on they stay open all night

Very nice! I also have a Nuvo 30l but I have 2 hydra26 lights on it. I just got a PAR meter and realized I have been running my lights way to bright. Would you mind sharing your light schedule?

I am running 2 hydras over my 30L also. What schedule were yours on when you discovered too high of PAR, and what do you run them at now?

I’ve got mine on BRS AB+

I actually do not have the tank anymore. But I was running a AB+ schedule at about 30% intensity with the lights about 11 inches off the surface, gave me a good par for the softies I had. The lights are just way more powerful than people realize i think.
