bowen1022 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hello Everyone! I have posted in the introduce yourself but have decided to stick this in the nano builds! I changed my plans for the tank! I have decided to purchase an Innovative Marine Fusion 10. With me still attending college and participating in athletics I figured this all in one would help cut down on maintenance and allow me to enjoy it more. My current equipment includes: -Innovative Marine Fusion 10 -Aqua Illumination Prime (Tank mount) -Eheim Jager 50w heater -Jebao wp10 -API Saltwater Test Kit -Fluval Hydrometer (Will be upgrading to refractometer) -inTank Media Basket Tank Contents: -10lb Bag Caribsea Aragalive Bahama Oolite -8lbs Reef Saver from BRS -Reef Crystals for salt Supplements/Dosing: -I could really use some guidance on this. I have been thinking Seachem Fusion 2 part. But am still researching My Socking Plans: Fish/Inverts -CUC from Reef Cleaners -Goby of some sort (Any Ideas??) -Cleaner Shrimp Coral -Unsure really want a mixed reef Thanks for the view!

PowderBlue Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Welcome to the fusion 10 club! Your setup sounds nice, are you going to run a skimmer and an ato? My tank has a ton of evaporation daily. I don't dose anything but I do weekly water changes. Here is mine Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowen1022 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 I don't know about skimmer, I will eventually get an ATO. I'm in college so I'm getting everything as I can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowen1022 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Tank looks great btw! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Get some pics posted and welcome to the forum! Fusions are great little tanks. And to be honest you do not need a skimmer if you keep up on water changes and have a small bio load. I have been running a 20 with no skimmer and just do weekly water changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what ATO do you have? I need to buy one but I really dont wanna spend $100 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBlue Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have my light at 70 percent and just set it to 18k. I tweaked with it a lot in the beginning but found I like the 18k look and corals seem happiest around 70 to 75 pecent. I started to melt zoas and my lepto over 75 percent. I have it run from 8 am with a 1 hour ramp up to 7pm with a 1 hour ramp down. The ato I use is from ato.com they are very simple to hook up and work well! I bought thier nano system it was like 45 bucks I think it included everything except the pump. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
