What size t5 would this be? Do they make them small enough

Gorgeous tank.
Are you happy with the Kessil? What about the Ghost skimmer?

Just saw this response. Thanks for the tip. I've always kept it above the baffles which could very well explain why I sometimes get a film of slime on the surface of rear chamber.
I'm guessing keeping that center chamber lower will increase surface flow. That should help

so I'm getting a lot of "water trickling" noise since I lowered the water level in the rear chamber. Is this normal?
On the bright side, there is definitely much better flow and no film build up. The positive definitely outweighs the negative, but wondering if there is something I can do about the water noise?

Hey guys. I have been given a Nuvo 8 and pondering what to do with it.
Is the back glass tempered? I'd like to drill it but if I can't it's going to effect my decision of what to do with it.

Not sure, but IMO I would just use the tank as the AIO it is meant to be. Unless you were planning on plumbing it into a bigger system, then that would be a different story.
I recently set up a Nuvo 10 and love how easy maintenance is on these AIO tanks.

I don't plan on adding it to a larger system. I just don't like the idea of all the equipment sticking out the back. I was thinking of just doing a 10 gallon standard tank, or something along those lines, but was given this tank for free. It looks a bit nicer than a standard tank, so I thought if I could eliminate the equipment in the back by plumbing it to a small sump (for a doser, ATO, heater, etc.) it would look even sleeker.

I'm using the 9004 on the 2nd gen IM38. Have it facing overflow but had to modify the IM a bit by taking a dremmel to the plastic overflow lip in the rear chamber.
Took about 20seconds and the skimmer is unreal. That said, I believe it also fits sideways.

I've got a 30L I picked up in November. I don't have any pics yet but I got a running system from a local reefer. Came with a couple media baskets and floss trays and fuge light, bought a 4x24 ATI sunpower for lighting, got a Apex Jr on the way. It also came with some LR from TB Saltwater and a nice pair of onyx picasso clowns. I've got a RBTA that will go in it once I get the lights hung. I need to buy a stand for it as well.
