Flash21 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So this will be a fast build 0-60 in 2 days. Daughter found a small Pin hole Leak in her 50. So we decided to downgrade to a 25 Lagoon. Thanks to Travis at Upscales for hooking me up on Tank and Stand Combo. Most of the Equipment from the 50 will be on the 25. 2 AI Primes Tunze ATO Stock pump for the moment Corals A ton of RFAs on there own island plan is to have a Rock full of Sweepers Hammers Frogs etc We have a 20 Nuvo that has no skimmer...what are people's thoughts on a skimmer for the Nuvos? I was thinking about a Coral Box? Attached is a Pic of the 20 for reference 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about a Coral Box? This should be a fun build to see! As for a skimmer in an AIO to be brutally honest, in my experience any skimmer you can fit in that is pretty much a waste of money. I have had AIO tanks for the last 7 years now, and they are made to run without skimmers relying on a steady schedule of Water Changes. I have done the Cad-Lights, Tunze, CoralLife, and Hydor variations. l found all of those are completely inconsistent, require constant adjustment, and dont pull a reliable amount of Skimmate out to make the fooling around worth it. Hence I am extremely excited to be finally getting a drilled tank with a sump again! Though another option to look at is InTank media Baskets, he makes some excellent products, and his Filter pad holders do an excellent job of pulling out excess waste.

Flash21 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thank Exodus. The 20 has InTank Media Baskets. I plan on getting for the 25. Whats your thoughts on a small UV? A better Pic of the 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) To be honest I have never used a UV sterilizer before, so I wouldn't be of much help there. Though Ryan from BRS did a great video on them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GncTmZqOIU If you don't want to watch the entire vid start at 4:40 and watch those couple of minutes that might be the info your looking for Edited June 11, 2017 by Exodus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorW Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Love that red rock flower with the blue skirt! Where did you find it?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorW Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm super jealous of those rock flowers!! I'm getting ready to start collecting a few, where's a good place to get them? Hopefully not too outrageously expensive lol. I have one red male and I know it's a male because it clowds my tank occasionally: ) I'd like some females at some point, I'm just trying to find a place that has them reasonably priced Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
