Moved On
Well I wanted to have something to play around with while I'm waiting on my 240 gal. tank to be built and delivered. I've been eyeing the new Innovative Marine Nuvo Nano 8 Dennis at FJW has had for a couple weeks now. I really love the modern design of it a lot. I finally pulled the trigger on it the other day. I would like to have a few LPS corals, a Yasha Goby w/Banded Pistol Shrimp pair, a couple Catalina Gobys, a Citrinis Clown Goby, and maybe something different like a Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse. For inverts/clean up crew I want a couple sexy shrimp, a pom pom crab and a few small snails. I'm going to keep it fairly simple. It's sitting on my end table next to "my spot" on the couch.
I've already added the Spin Stream nozzle to the output to give some better flow inside the tank but I still don't think it is enough. I will most likely add an MP10 to get some better water movement. The LED lighting if fairly decent so I won't be changing that. Oh I'd also like to add a little macro algae in there. I kind of like the nanos that have some plant life in them. For my aquascape I went with the Fish Heads purple rock. Man I love that stuff.
I got it set up last weekend and started my cycle on sunday with Dr. Tim's One & Only. I'm dosing the ammonia I got with the One & Only and my cycle seems to be right on track. Today is day 5 of the cycle and I will test my parameters when I get home from work tonight. I'm hoping to be done with my cycle this weekend so I can start adding livestock next week sometime.
Here's a few pics I took. I'll keep updating after my cycle is complete and I start adding livestock.
