Fantastic!  I'm hoping to upgrade this week to a used IM Nuvo 40 that I have a lead on.  I'm currently in an IM Nuvo Fusion 10 and have completely overstocked it with coral I picked up during the last WWC Live Sale.  🙄 🤩It's hard for me to resist those sales!  Do you have any pearls of wisdom for the setup now that you've had your tank a little while?  Any mistakes you made or 20/20 hindsight that I can learn from?

Hmmmm 🤔

 

Not sure! Everyone's cup of tea is different. The only thing I did to it was place some foam inserts between the rear wall and media basket so they sit flush with the incoming water. 

I used basically all IM gear since it fits nice and was made for the tank. 

Good luck!

Do you feel the IM skimmer is helping at all?  I want to add some additional filtration on my 50 lagoon and trying to decide if I want a skimmer, media reactor of something else.  I currently use a filter sock, IM UV sterilizer and the refugium light but it's not growing much algae.
