IM Nuvo 20 Build Journal - New Beginning!

[robotrash]

After nearly a decade of not having a tank I'm finally in a place financially to have one of reasonable size for my rental.

The Goods:

- Innovative Marine Fusion Nuvo 20
- Lightimetunnel 165w Wi-Fi Light
- NuvoSkim AIO Skimmer
- 2x InTank Media Basket
- 2x Hydor Koralia Nano 240
- Hydor Smart Wave Controller
- AutoAqua AWC*- ATO and Water Changes
- Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm 100w
- Sicce Syncra 1.0 Aquarium Pump (replaced stock return)
- 2x Innovative Marine Spin Stream
- Flipper Nano Magnet Cleaner
- Red Sea Test Kits
- Coralife Digital Aquarium Thermometer
- Seachem Purigen
- Chemi Pure Blue
- South Ocean Filter Bag
- inTank Bonded Poly Filter Floss

In Tank:

- Carib Sea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Sand
- 20-25 lb Live Rock (still need to pick it up)

Planned Stocking:

- Softies and Zoas (I think, I'm planning for mixed)
- Goby + Pistol Shrimp pair
- Designer Clown Pair


I'm still trying to decide whether I'll be mixing my own water or if I'm going to be using my LFS. Trying to simplify my maintenance but I think long term it's likely I'll start mixing my own regardless.

Setup will be slow initially, likely a couple weeks before I have anymore updates but the initial setup is completed and freshwater running for leak and flow testing!

Looking forward to the build! I'm ordering an IM Nuvo 20 at the end of the month.

I just started in the marine side of the hobby a couple months ago with a 10 gallon, I'm already sick of lugging big jugs of RO home. Would love to get an RO system for mixing at home.

After doing some research on RO plumbing I realized that I have an unused hose connection on the side of the place I'm renting. I am just going to drill a small hole into the garage and run a hose through into an RO/DI setup with a float valve. Probably get the 32 gallon Brute cans and do one for clean RO, one for mixing and a smaller container for WC waste water from the tank.
