Matteo Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Filtration will go as follows Filter Sock, Skimmer, UV, refugium, carbon reactor, and purigen at the return pump. UV sterilizer pulls water from the first chamber and the carbon reactor pulls water from the last chamber. Any thoughts or concerns on this design/setup? Up top I plan on only running the Nero 5 for flow on the back wall and having all three glass panels clean of pumps and wires. The most annoying part of the transfer is I need to drain the first tank first so I can access the light hanger as it is screwed into the stand, once it's removed I can then mount it to the new stand and theeeeen fill it up. 🙄 Going to be an all day process that is for sure. Sand, salt, and bacteria starter all come in Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocboat Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Good luck with the transfer. It may be just the camera angle but your new 42 gallon tanks looks much bigger than your old 40 gallon Nuvo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stoked and its the perfect size upgrade for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
