Nuvo Nano 10g

[jc_k]

After not owning any saltwater tanks for a couple years I finally started a 10 Nuvo fusion. I’m going to college at the end of August, so I wanted to set something small up that I would be able to move around easily. I’m also kinda broke so this was the best choice for me. The tank has been set up for about a month now, and I’m leaning toward a goby species tank. I would like to keep mainly zoas/sps but it will most likely turn into a mixed reef. I would like to thank everyone who sold me the items to put this tank together, as I couldn’t afford anything new lol. I know it’s a little iffy trying to make a nano a goby tank, but they’re some of my favorite fish and as long as I keep up with the bio load I’m hoping it’ll be ok.

My only concern with the gobies is if they’ll get along. I also sadly didn’t do any research before purchasing the hectors goby. It’s a common problem with them that they don’t readily eat free floating food, instead they eat pods and microorganisms in alage, and my tank is very new so this will pose a problem. I have high hopes with this tank and would love to keep this thread updated with how everything’s going.

Looks good! What percent are your whites and blues? I have the same light and generally keep mine at 100% blue, 10% white.

I keep the blues at 100% and the whites at 80%. I would like to take the whites down but I’m worried that it won’t be enough light, so until I get my hands on a par meter I’ll probably be running the whites at 70-80%. Have you had pretty good growth under them @ those settings?

Check this video out. Pretty comprehensive par test for the light. I’ve has great growth so far but only have a few SPS frags, mainly LPS. Nemo’s in Duluth is running this light on their nano on the counter by the register at 100% blue 0% white with great results and I think only 7 hours a day. Mine is at 10 hours but experimenting with cutting it down a few more bc I’ve had a little algae growth lately.

Nice! Didn’t even think of looking for a video lol. Guess I’ve been running mine a bit too high then. Can’t wait to get some sps under it

Nice looking tank! It's gonna look amazing in a couple of years when those zoa's are covering the rocks!
