Starting a thread for my Innovative Marine Nuvo 14 Peninsula Tank
It's been up and running since the end of December. I decided to downsize from my 40 breeder with sump to an AIO tank. The 40 had been up for a number of years and was too much for me to keep up with. While I know a smaller tank needs more careful watching, I'm hoping that it will also require a scaled down maintenance regimen.

It's been up and running since the end of December. I decided to downsize from my 40 breeder with sump to an AIO tank. The 40 had been up for a number of years and was too much for me to keep up with.

Equipment:
- Circulation:
- Return Pump: Replaced the stock rattle trap with a Sicce Syncra 0.5 which is rated for 185 GPH
- Power Head: Jebao RW-4 set on its lowest setting in wave mode
- Filtration:
- Replaced the stock overflow filter sock with a media basket. Have filter floss and Purigen running. Debating running some carbon, but we'll see how the current set-up goes
- Skimmer: None. Planning on keeping the tank lightly stocked with fish, and weekly water changes
- Lighting: Using an OceanRevive Arctic-S026 LED fixture. I had two of these over my 40. I made the mistake of not turning down the intensity when I switched it over to the new tank. I went on a business trip that first week, and came back to all my LPS being fried. Lost about 20 heads of Frogspawn, some Acans, and almost an entire colony of war colony, but the last few eyes seem to be hanging on. Needless to say, the lights are turned down almost all the way right now and everything seems a lot happier.
- Other equipment:
- Nepture Apex controller
- Top Off: Homemade breakout box with float switches attached that control Aqualifter pump.
- Net cover for when the fish get added
- Livestock:
- Some zoanthids
- Duncans
- Ricordias - Purple with green edges
- Random SPS
- Acan
- War Coral
- RBTA
- Atrea Snails
