Kasasah Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Better late than never I guess... I have a 30 Nuvo Fusion Sand: Figi pink(or something similar) Rock: real reef reef rock(man made) Fish: Blue tang(trading in when it grows, she has plenty of swim room) and a yellow corris wrasse. Coral: SPS dominant with Acans to come. I'll name off the list later. Skimmer: Reef octopus BH-50 INT nano skimmer Other Filtration:Standard nuvo filtration, BRS activated carbon, purigen, CerMedia Marinepure block cut and placed in back ATO: tunze nano osmolator nano in a 30 gallon reservoir. Instead of dosing or setting up a reactor I am replenishing half a gallon of water 3 times a day after removing half a gallon. Once my sps colonizes more I will set up my reactor.

Ansaybuddy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Very nice! I have the same tank that I am trying to set up after I get all of my equipment together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Another nuvo! We need to start a club! I will be curious to see how the smaller more frequent water changes work out for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasasah Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Currently running a arctic t247 from ocean revive. I'm switching to T5s because with this small of a setup I'm getting a lot of shadowing and color fade Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasasah Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Very nice! I have the same tank that I am trying to set up after I get all of my equipment together.I would definitely recommend the media block in the back and the skimmer. Tight fit but we'll worth it! Maybe go with the ball version of the media so you don't have to cut it like I did. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasasah Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Looking to put a 36 inch 4 bulb ATI over this. Anyone have one for sale or trade? Maybe know someone who does? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasasah Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm getting micro bubbles in my system that I can't get to go away.... I'm to the point I think it's the pump. I have tried raising the water level, putting a filter sock over the return pump... I don't see a ton of micro bubbles coming from the skimmer which makes me think the pump is creating them...

TheClark Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hmm, dang that can be frustrating. If you turn off skimmer do the bubbles go away after a couple of hours? If so, it surely must be the return pump. This is an interesting build thread, thanks for the details. Now that my son is setting up a 60 gallon AIO I find myself scrutinizing the filtration details quite a bit. more. How is that block working out for you? Do you run and kind of filter media / sock type material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I get a lot of microbubbles too but I really think it's true skinner because it gets better when I turn it off but I do think my pump contributes. It doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Creep Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have this same tank and I noticed that when I switched out the stock return nozzles for the spin streams any micro bubbles I had went away. The spin stream nozzles sit about an inch lower than the stock return lines so they don't draw any air from the surface and shoot micro bubbles into the display. Maybe try repositioning the return nozzle or add some loc-line so that the return line doesn't sit so high in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasasah Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 No problem haha. So sometimes it's very bad and sometimes it's not much at all. I don't see a difference when the skimmer is on or off... So I think it's safe to assume it's partially the pump. Maybe I'll just change my filter sock around it more often and have to deal with the little bit. I might look into getting the spinning nozzles as well..

Do you run and kind of filter media / sock type material? The bubbles don't go away. I use the sock around the return pump, carbon in one sock and purigen in another. The CerMedia blocks I think are very helpful. I'm not going to risk taking them out to see what happens, but I feel they are doing well...

I had to custom cut the blocks and it wasn't the funnest or cleanest task.... Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
