Hello,
I recently setup a new Innovative Marine Nuvo 38 reef after taking down my custom 120 gallon rimless. I am a retail manager and wasn't able to keep up with the larger SPS aquarium I had so I sold it and the equipment and started this reef. This will be a mixed reef and I am really happy with everything so far. I purchased a new IM Nuvo 38 in white and did a custom stand that I built myself. I am running an Ecotech Marine Radion XR30w, a Vortech MP10wES, and a Tunze ATO unit. I also built some custom light brackets to hang the lighting above the aquarium similar to the ones I built for my Rimless 120. Below are a few setup shots. I'll post more tomorrow of what the tank currently looks like. The photos below are from about 3 months ago. Thanks for reading.
