The ReefBox Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 what are you guys using to move water in the IM nuvo20. I have dead spots and detritus building up? Quote
Emerald525 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I use an MP10 which I love but you also may consider upgrading the stock pump as it does not give you enough flow. I had another nuvo that I was originally going to use and took the pump out of that and sirena put that in so I have 2 stock pumps and an mp10 and this is the only tank I have had that I have never had an issue with cyano. A lot of people will add a maxijet in the back for extra flow. While I love IMs overall it has been my experience with the nuvo 20 as well as the seahorse tank that they skimp on the gph with the pumps. Quote

Paratore Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I use an MP-10 and an upgraded return! Don't have any fish yet but the flow looks really good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Emerald525 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 for sure, I was just thinking an MP10 would be way overkill No it's perfect! Nice thing about them is you can always ramp them down. I had a tunze nano and that thing was too powerful because there was no control Quote
spectra Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 See I told you MP 10 Mine also had a Sicce 1.5 for the return. Quote
chewie Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 My daughters nuvo 20 came with a MJ1200 and it works great for the return. Don't have anything else running as of yet but with the 1200 and 2 spin streams it has good random flow. When the baby clowns get bigger we'll add a propeller style pump. Jebao wp4 I think... 1 Quote
Exodus Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 If your going to upgrade the return to an MJ1200 be sure you get a Cobalt model, the Marineland models are loud! Quote
The ReefBox Posted October 11, 2016 Author Posted October 11, 2016 I ordered two sicce micro plus and 2 spin streams today looking at a ghost skimmer and possibly an mp 10 Quote

Emerald525 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Those Quiet Drive MP10s are awesome! They really live up to their name! Quote
