14g Nuvo Peninsula SPS Tank Plans

[Lakejoery]

I am currently in the works of planning a new build. Adding a 2nd tank to my collection(one just wasn't enough!). Ive had a LPS 40g NUVO that is just over 8 months old and Ive really been wanting to get into SPS, but any SPS that goes in my LPS tank dies due to the nutrient levels that my LPS love. So after lots of planning, this is the equipment I am planing. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Planning to go bare bottom so I can use that MP10 the way it should be used.

Equipment List:
14G Nuvo Peninsula Tank
Custom Stand in the future(for now, using a strong desk)
Tune 9001 Skimmer
AI Prime
Tunze Osmolator Nano
Cobalt Neo-therm 75 Watt Heater
MP10QD Pump
Stock Return
Custom Media Basket
Cemipure Blue

Do I need a skimmer? Considering I am planning to be very low on bioload?

 

[Lakejoery]

Oh, and would you guys recommend I dose? If so what should I dose?

I had that same tank.

I was running Triton on it. I had a cheato reactor hanging on the back but eventually I got an IN Tank LLC fuge basket and put the refugium inside. No skimmer and water changes were only every couple of months.

I didn't even need a powerhead until my corals grew bigger. That MP10 is going to have to be run on the lowest setting on that tank.

Yeah, Im getting the MP10 to conserve space. So a skimmer or a refugium in the back chamber? I currently run both on my 40g and I don't know what to pick for this tank.

Just found out the Tunze 9001 doesn't really fit but some people make it work. Debating whether to try to 9001, get the ghost skimmer(heard its horrible) or just do a refugium. Any Ideas?

I think eshopps makes a good skimmer that would fit.

Do you have a link for the LLC fuge basket?
