Second Try at Reefing with an IM 20 gal Nuvo Fusion

[Anthony357]

yep sounds like me. I have just been running the washer on a short/water only rinse cycle to clean all the socks for both my tanks atonce, usually just run it on low and it cleans them out pretty good and then let them dry. It works for the most part but i think i am going to get another media basket and either do dual gfo/carb or like you said add some chaeto or a mini refugium

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!

I had a goby disappear for a month. Replaced him. New guy bonded with the shrimp in a heartbeat. Then a week later I saw movement in my sump. Old guy. He was skinny and lost a lot of color, but was fine, and LFS took him back for full credit.

No way! I'm curious as to where the goby could have gone... I checked in the rear chambers and no goby back there. Very curious to see if I can find him anywhere eventually.

I purchased the EcoTech ReefLink a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. I'm curious to see how easy it will be to set up and be able to wirelessly control my radion and MP10. Stay tuned!
