My IM Nuvo EXT 100 Build

Is your UV in a closed loop or off a manifold of the return pump. The pictures look like you have two return pumps. 3/4"?

Also, did you try a different guard on the MP40? I would also like to go with Sand and have SPS tank.

Great thread! I also have an I.M. EXT 100 being delivered any day now. Was debating between the Ice Cap dual 2000 or 4000 and the Nero 5 when I found this thread. It's a wealth of information. Looking forward to the true test of a Nero 5 on these tanks. I'll be following with great interest.

i don't think the 2Ks will work, iirc their magnets are rated for 1/2". 2 4Ks would be pretty sweet tho

nero 5 arrives today sometime so i'll try to remember to update tomorrow

Nero 5 is on and a serious win. It’s so tiny compared to my octopulse lol. Magnet seems quite strong and I had ai primes before so the app setup took about 5 minutes. I highly recommend for the 100g tank size. I turned it up to 100% and it definitely has some power but didn’t blow sand around surprisingly. I’d probably have been better off just going with 2 neros rather than the octopulse but doesn’t hurt to have that thing around once I actually get sps going

Great thread so far. Sorry about your losses. I am getting my Nuvo 100 ext next week. Going to transfer everything from my 46 gallon bow front. Nice to see someone else has Reefi lights. How did you mount them? Mine are currently hanging but the new tank is way wider so my current mounts won't work.
