Default Nuggs' IM NUVO Fusion 20 Build

Well my new tank arrived yesterday.

Shout out to the ReefSupplies.ca guys, great packing and free 2 day shipping. Just couldn't pass it up.

I was unsure what to do for a stand. The one from IM has really poor reviews.

I did look at either building one myself, or reinforcing a 24" bathroom vanity.

Then I found this little gem on Kijiji, needs a paint job

Unfortunately this stand isn't going to work. The measurements supplied to me were incorrect, and the tank overhangs in the back 5/8".

I was considering adding 1/4 oak plywood to the top that would be 24" x 15" and supporting the overhang in the back. When mudded and painted you wouldn't even see it.

I have one more stand option that popped up so I may go a different direction yet.

Looks good! FWIW, the first stand would have worked just fine as is. Hanging one edge off isn't a big deal - especially with a nano tank. I love these Fusion tanks. What are you doing for lighting?

Probably repurpose an Evergrow 120V2 off my 150G as I shut it down, then pick up and AI Prime.

I had had fish hide for a week before I seen them. Just give it time (still haven't seen my peppermint shrimp since the first day I added him)
