Shiftline's Nuvo 24 reef
7 Attachment(s)
I upgraded/migrated my 12g reef to the 24g a few weeks back so I'll try to backtrack a bit and start from the beginning
Tank innovative marine Nuvo 24 Light: programmable 120w led Skimmer: IM ghost Live rock: 35-45 lbs Filter chambers: 2x cheato. 1x chemipure blue Cheato light: custom 24w LED Return pump: 467 gph Website: www.fishtankprojects.com The original little reef was a 12g fluval edge.. Beautiful little reef! My coral addiction soon grew and I wanted to expand http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...3bf7709174.jpg I had a 24g Nuvo tank setup as a freshwater shrimp tank..I loved the look of this tank and didn't have the heard to break it down. I came across a novo 16 ft sale and snatched not up. Days later I began the transfer from the 24 to the 16 Attachment 13971 And the shrimp tank magically shrunk! Attachment 13972 It was t an easy transfer but it mostly made it in one piece! Nothing a little regrowth won't fix.. Now with a fancy desktop shrimp tank I found my self with a beautiful 36" empty shallow reef tank! What ever shall I do?.. Yes you guessed it. It was time to move the 12g edge to the 24g Nuvo Attachment 13973 Now the move went fairly easy and the scape happened pretty quick and smoothly which was surprising considered the 50 rescapes I did in the edge. I must have learned some design lessons :) Attachment 13974 Attachment 13975 Now we wait for the dust storm to settle Attachment 13976 |

Once it clears up I added in some of my fish and corals from the 12g. I also had a 10g and a bucket of live sand running the past few weeks with heaters and powerheads for anticipation of the upgrade

Now I'm cut off from fish as my stocking seems a little high however my parameters are all perfect. And so sign of nitrates!
On a side note I do 5g weekly water changes which likely helps prevent anything. :) Two perc clowns http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...5298cec02c.jpg Banggai Cardinal http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...5a6aadcbdc.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...82bc5bcf8e.jpg Yellow clown goby http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...ac398484bb.jpg Azule damsel - one of the least aggressive damsels.

One of my favourite times is when just the blues come on at night. Everything in the tank glows like cray and its a straight up black light party in there
