My 30g Nuvo

[JonK]

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some pictures and details of my 30g IM Nuvo.:beer:

I purchased the tank back in November of 2014. It came as a kit with the tank and stand, IM skimmer and IM LEDs.

Full tank shot:



For lighting I use the IM Fusion dual dimmable LED.

The circulation is provided by the stock pump with spin stream. Along with that I installed a Hydor wave pump controller with 2 Koralia Nanos.

I also installed a Hydor smart level ATO. Absolutely one of the best investments I've made. The peace of mind of not having to top off once or twice a day is fantastic.



I'll be posting some more updates shortly.

Looking great! I love the coral choices. The frogspawn is looking great. Where did you get your coral from? I love that duncan!!

Nice looking setup. I also have the Hydor smart level ato and I have to agree with you that it was the one purchase that made things a lot easier.

bj: I got the duncan from the frag swap down in Lancaster a few months ago. The acans (except for the large one) and a few of the zoas are from there as well.

Hopefully the pictures look ok. I use my phone to take pictures and they always turn out bluish like this:



So I modify them to look as close to what my eyes see as possible. Although everyone's monitor is different.

The Kenya tree decided to shed some branches. It's probably only half the size it was in the recent pictures. I've seen them drop a branch here and there. This is the first time I've seen one collapse for 5 days and then come back with most of the larger branches missing. I thought for sure it was going to die.
