Thread: Nuvo 8 build...

    I removed the xenia and glued it to a small rock but it died in the process. I wanted that out of the display anyway. It was just a bonus on the rock with GSP.

    All corals have some growth, just not enough to see a difference in a pic yet. Will post new pic when growth is more obvious.

    Updated pic. Getting decent growth with the PAR38 about 12" off the water.20121216_143320.jpg

    Good looking tank. You really have a knack at spacing. It makes the tank seem bigger than it is.

    Thinking of building a rock wall to cover the back of the tank so I can open up the sand a bit more. Any suggestions? I have some dry rock already and a separate tank to get it cycled before placing in. Do y'all think this would look good and open up the flow? Has anyone done this in a Nano before?

    Depends on what you want. I think a rock wall would be fine. Ben and I are doing a wall in his new tank build and the February meeting will cover using mortar and rock. Might be helpful.

    I made the rock wall Sun and let it cure. It is now cycling with a piece of seed rock and MicroBacter. Forgot to take a pic before placing in the tub to cycle. Will post a pic before and after placing in the tank. I made it with several shelves to hold the sps and a place for zoas near the bottom. I hope it works out as well as I think it will cause my Devils Hand needs more room and this should give it the space it needs. (Just not ready to part with it)

    I have discovered that I may go to a larger tank. I am pleased with the look but there is NO getting around the fact that this tank is small.

    Tank looks good. There's a 240 listed here on MAAST.

    Not that big! Lol. I have the 185 Fowlr so I don't want to have that much maintenance.
