Default Nate's 40G Nuvo Fusion

Getting back into the hobby after about 8 years out.....Thought I would start small.....Wow a lot has changed in the years.
Equipment:
IM Nuvo Fusion 40g
Eheim 100w Heater
hydor 425 circulation pump
Ecotech MP10
Maxspect Ehereal Lighting
25 pounds live sand
30 pounds of live rock
Running 2 filter socks at the moment , waiting for the media racks to come in.
Any suggestions on what I should run in the racks? Also a suggestion on a skimmer......It needs a pretty small footprint for the skimmer. Pics are a little cloudy as I just added the rock
Any and all suggestions or comments are welcome , Thanx in advance

Yeah lots has changed! Everyone uses dry rock these days... Nice to see "old school" live rock! That's all I'll ever use in my own tanks too.

I always liked the IM tanks. Got a Nuvo 20 myself.

For the baskets, run filter floss, chemipure, and purigen in that order.

Since it's a dual chamber return, it's up to you what to run on the other side.

Just set up a nuvo 10. Liking it so far. Cycled in two weeks with live rock. I run the ghost skimmer from IM and it seems to work well for the short period it has been running.
