Juano’s First Nano Tank (IM Nuvo10)

[Juano908]

It’s been couple of months since I got rid of my 120 dream tank due to not being able to keep corals happy no matter what I tried. My 9 years old daughter has been involved with the hobby since she was born and she was missing having a tank I decided to set up a Nuvo 10 as simple as possible.

Tank: IM AIO Nuvo 10
Light: Nicrew 50W LED
Flow: IM Spin Stream
Return pump: no name 450gph
6.5 Lbs of mix dry rocks
50w heater
Filtra: filter floss, Bio sponge, Marine Puré
Sand: Caribsea Special grade.

Tank has been cycled and has no fish but has some corals for now (Toadstool, Micromussa, Torch and GSP) seems to be happy so far.

I hope to be able to keep this little tank happy and enjoy it together with my daughter since I’ve never had a tank smaller than 75 gallons.
As always any input is welcome.

Look like a good start. I love nano tanks. I found the key to success is small but frequent water changes

Thanks and yes, for now just thinking on maintaining the 3 main elements by doing frequent WC.
It’s so easy to do 2 or 3 gals WC for this small tank compared to the 35 gals WC I used to do on my 120.

Installed my Apex classic and surprise, surprise!!!!….it’s not working, it looks like the Brain gave up on me.
Really wired cause it was working properly when I took it off, got in touch with Neptune Tech Support but sadly they only offered to sell me the new version Brain with 10% discounted price.

Tank is doing well so far, ugly stage is starting little by little, added a Tailspot Blenny that is picking all over the rocks and a Missbar Clownfish that is super orange color.
So far my daughter is very happy with the tank.
