StayJejune's IM Nuvo 20

StayJejune · Feb 17, 2017

Hi Everyone,

Here is my IM Nuvo 20. The tank has been up for a few months. I plan on keeping mostly LPS and a few easy to keep SPS pieces. I have one Damicornis that I put into the tank yesterday. I've read a few articles about the Aquamaxx Nemo being able to sustain healthy growth and color in SPS, especially with tanks of my depth. I consider it my little experiment. If the Aquamaxx Nemo light isn't able to sustain healthy growth and color I'm considering going with the Radion G3 Pro, Radion G4, or the Aqua Illumination Hydra FiftyTwo. Here is the equipment list:

Micro ATO
Aquamaxx Nemo Light
MP10wQD
Cobalt Neo-therm heater

Fish List

Two Bengaai Cardinals
Orange Spotted Goby

Coral and Inverts

Pistol Shrimp;
Cleaner shrimp;
CUC;
Zoas;
War Coral;
Acans;
Frog spawn;
Torch;
Hammer;
ORA Pink and Green Damicornis; and
Jason Fox Limelight Hydnophora (I think? Feel free to correct me if that's not it)

Here are some assorted photos of the tank!

Thanks, Bob! The iPhone 7 has a great camera! Just have to learn how to edit the photos so they're a little less blue from the LEDs

Just a little update. First, I bought a Radion XR30w G4 to replace the Aquamaxx Nemo. I'm still in the acclamation period of getting the light up to the intensity I want it but everything in the tank seems to be as happy as can be. Second, I mounted and glued some of my frags to the rocks. I'm still trying to figure out where I want to start my Acan garden, but I think I've found a good spot for them. Finally, while the corals might be doing really well, my fish are not. I lost my Cardinal and my Goby and my Clownfish has a serious case of Ich. I ordered some medicine to treat the tank which should be in tomorrow. I really hope this treatment works and helps heal the Clownfish. Other than that things are great. I re-scaped the tank, but I haven't gotten a good picture of it yet. But, here are two pictures I had on my phone. I'll take some pictures of the tank tomorrow and post them!

So I tried my hand at some editing thanks to @d2mini and his editing tutorial. Let me know what you guys think. I took the photos with my iPhone 7, so not the awesome base photo you'd get with a proper camera, but I thought things turned out okay!

Hi everyone!

It's been a while so I thought I would give a little tank update. 2017 was a terrible year. Not only for the tank, but also on account of a few deaths in the family. Two very unexpected deaths pretty much put the tank on the back burners. But, once things settled down towards the end of 2017 and things got back to normal, I started paying more attention to the tank and bringing things back from the edge. I lost a few coral on account of very spaced water changes resulting in poor water quality. A few of my SPS corals lost color, but somehow kept growing. I lost a few acans and the three I have left have a lot of tissue loss, but seem to be on the mend. I just added a beautiful hammer coral, a clown, and a goby. The goby was very small and I haven't seen him since I put him in two days ago. Slightly concerned that I haven't seen him yet, but my hope is that he found the pistol shrimp and just hasn't come out of the burrow that the pistol shrimp made.

Any who, here are a few pictures to show the state of the tank currently!
