My Nuvo 150 INT upgrade

[Genec]

Hi all I just wanted to share with you my upgrade from an 85 gallon to my new Nuvo 150 int. I refused my eshopps r300 Sump and also my RO 150 elite skimmer. I ended up mounting my Nero’s right behind the coast to coast back wall overflow and ordered a pair of Jebao sow 15s for additional flow. I also purchased a Jebao dcp8000 for the return pump.

I ended up reusing the kessils paired with 3 AI HD26 up front. I was skeptical on how this would look but it really looks good!!!

Rockscape done. Not sure if I should go with less rock. Thinking about it. Anyhow I’m gonna stick with bare bottom for now. Still need to clean up the wiring under the stand and re install my algae scrubber.

Hey quick question. Are you having any trouble shutting the stand doors? I have the EXT 75 and the stand doors don’t want to shut correctly.

Mine shut correctly. Just make sure to adjust the top and bottom holes where it can slide. The holes where the door pin goes in.

Question for you. Is that plywood they include for some sort of shelf? I was trying to put it down on the Sump area but it was too thick and the door magnet holder was in the way. I used the thinner board seems like a pvc board for the Sump. Hoping that’s the correct one. It does seem a little flimsy though (the board for the sump)

Yes the hard one if for a shelf. Unfortunately the flimsy one is the one for
the sump. I used the included styrofoam to try to combat any bending that may be caused by the sump.

So after a year and a half with my current setup, it was time for an upgrade. I currently have a Marineland 55 gallon with very poor dimensions. This was a gift given to me, so I took advantage of it before buying a better tank. I have always wanted a rimless tank, and with all the BF deals I...
