    George's IM Nuvo 14

    Did a little more work on the tank. Replaced my Sicce pump with the IM MightyJet Desktop DC pump, and replace the outflow nozzle with a Vivid Random Flow Generator nozzle. The MightyJet is supposed to have ~300GPH flow vs This freed up a good bit of space allowing me to move the rock work...

    George's IM Nuvo 14

    Refugium added! Did a little work on the tank today with one of my early Black Friday purchases. Turned the middle chamber into a fuge. It was a little tight working on the tank, but it worked out ok: - Made a template for the light - taped onto the glass and used a razor to cut the outline...

    Marinepure vs Seachem Matrix vs Rock Rubble?

    Haven’t looked at siporax. Looks like it’s supposed to hold up better and better surface area and permeability? Never know what marketing to believe.

    Marinepure vs Seachem Matrix vs Rock Rubble?

    Wanted to take a little of my live rock out of the display to make some room, and thought putting some rubble or media in the back chamber would provide some additional surface area for biological filtration.

    Marinepure vs Seachem Matrix vs Rock Rubble?

    So, I've got a small Nuvo 14 penninsula that has 3 chambers (identical in size to the Nuvo 10). I have floss/carbon/purigen taking up half of the media rack in the 1st chamber. I was thinking of adding something to the 2nd half of the chamber. It's not a ton of volume, but though something...

    George's IM Nuvo 14

    This is probably a basic question - is my tank's proximity to a window (east-facing) a likely contributor to my hair algae issues? The closest shade is down, but it's been up till recently. The window is a small side window that's one of three across the front of the living room. Other Notes...

    Bulk BRS Dosing Pump Tubing?

    thanks. I'm a bit of a gadget junky too. Learning to resist the dark side. Thanks for taking the time to measure. Agree it's probably not worth it to make them (or by the 25 feet of tubing that I'd need to get in bulk)

    Bulk BRS Dosing Pump Tubing?

    thanks. I just wasn't sure how long the tubes last. Mine still look in good shape, but I was planning ahead. Don't go through the trouble. It's probably easiest for me to just pay the few dollars to buy the spare set.

    George's IM Nuvo 14

    Hi all, slowly getting out of lights on mode to improving and working on the tank. Here's where things currently stand: ATO Upgrade: Bought a Tunze Osmolator Nano last year, which is the main improvement to the tank. So much better than battling with my homemade floats and aqualifter pump...

    Does anyone know what the specs on the BRS dosing pump tubing? (the "santoprene" tubing that the rollers press on) https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-2-part-doser-1-1-ml-per-minute-bundle.html I could just order the replacement parts, but wondering if it's any cheaper to order the tubing in...
