Ky's Nuvo 30 Build

She is really beauty which fish is that

 

Weird. I thought they were all the same size. I guess I thought wrong. I know the black tubing is made a little differently than the clear so hopefully the black tubes will stand up to the chemicals and not break down.

Thank you! Fuzzy dwarf lion. She will pretty much eat anything off the stick now. I just make a little ball of pe mysis shrimp on the stick and lower it into the tank. She will usually get the entire ball as soon as it touches the water. If any falls off she will chase the food around the tank. Not as intelligent as other fish but fun to feed and watch.

 

Lot's of updates coming to the build thread.

First up. I was able to install some cabinets to store the fish supplies .... er .... laundry supplies in.

 

Picked up a couple frags from a fellow reefer. He totally hooked it up. I got both forest fire digis for $10 and these actually have some green on them. I'm going to give them a week before moving them up. I want to place them on the top of the columns so they are able to reach out over the other corals from above. Hopefully this will still allow light to reach the corals underneath. If not I will just have to frag them for trades.

I have been hacking away at rhodactis mushrooms. These corals are the best at propogating. Just cut into halfs or fourths and your good to go. If you don't get a clean cut when removing the foot it will slowly grow into a new mushroom. Awesome. These guys are going to cover the ousides of the columns where the light is really dim.

 

And here is a FTS and a few misc. picks. I ordered another dosing container and will start automating mag soon. Right now I am dosing 2mL BRS calcium and Alk a day. I believe the coraline was stunted due to me running the magnesium around 1200-1250 for a while. I'm going to make sure the mag stays where it needs to. Hopefully this will get the coraline /corals going.

 

Cool Digitata frags with nice color. Great growers, mine grows really fast. Funny you should post an image of your fish cupboard, I just organized mine into one area and was thinking of posting an images as well. Only reefers post pics of organized aquarium stuff, feels good when it's all in one spot and organized.

Tank looks fantastic!

 

I hope they grow fast. I'm ready for the tank to fill up. I think I am really close to the point of no more coral since I want to leave room to grow.

What reefer doesn't want to showcase their "tools of the trade?" Chemicals, fragging supplies, filter media..... it deserves some respect You should totally post a pic of your supplies. I am always looking for a better way of organizing and storing things. I never had OCD until I starting reefing.

Thank you! Thanks to you I am really narrowing in on keeping the mag elevated. I have noticed a positive coralation of the rocks looking a little darker since I have boosted the mag. I'm hoping the darker appearance is due to increased coraline algea.

 

everything is looking great! In your second pic of the tank - on the right, is that torch coral? it almost looks like an elegance. very pretty

 

Forest fire digi is one of my all time favorites wait until they fully color up

Tank looks great keep up the awesome work

 

Great stuff man. Recently added an extra rack to my laundry room to hold more of the tank stuff.
Love the Digi.

I have boston bean digi but it has never been happy. Yours look great.
