innovative marine nuvo38

hey everyone so I an 8 months in on my 46 gallon and loving it decided i wanted another project for the basement so i can enjoy a tank wherever i am in the house was looking for input on 2 things

1-lighting do i wanna go hydra 26 or 2 primes?
2-whats the best skimmer to fit in the back chamber?

thanks in advance!

 

You'll need two Hydra Prime, or one Hydra 52.

I have the Hydra 52 on a 20, coverage is good but not great. I do not think one Hydra 26 will give you the coverage you really want long term.

Tunze Doc 9001 is what I run and I am very happy with it. The Tunze Doc 9002 is another excellent skimmer but they do not make anymore, you can find used ones pretty easily.

thank you! i figured I would need 2 primes cant find many reviews on them and il look into the tunze doc 9001

 

well another option the LFS is gonna make me a deal on a innovative marine nuvo 30 with a ecotech radion for just a little bit more then a 20 with 2 primes decisions decisions

 

I would go with the Radion and the 30. Make sure the fixture is not a resold one with issues though.

 

how do i tell if its a resold one? its the radion xr15w pro looked up the specs and its good for 24x24 he told me originally a 30 but he told me today a 38 the dimensions are 24x19x19 gonna go pick everything up Tuesday

 

well decision has been made going with the Nuvo 38

Tank- Nuvo 38
Light- EcoTech Radion xr15w Pro
Skimmer- Tunze Doc 9004
ATO-???? need help and opinions

Also what about a media reactor??? have never used one but with this set up I have a spot for one any input?

 

Tunze 3155 or 3152 either 1 will work have both but prefer the 3155 because of the added failover and sensor. 3155 also has a flow adjustment knob inside the controller.

If you ever intend on running kalk reactor off the ATO go with the 3155. You will find the flow adjustment useful
