After losing my 30 gallon cube reef and 90 gallon frag tank to an electrical house fire last May, I have decided to start a nano tank in my current rental during the rebuild process.
I chose a Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion 10 tank due to its sleek appearance and small footprint.
Equipment:
Nuvo Fusion 10
Maxspect Celestial LED
Tunze Silence 1073.008 return pump
Cobalt Neo Therm Heater
IM Media Caddy Basket
Oolite Bahama Sand
13.2 Gallons Nutri Sea Water
8lbs Pukani Dry Rock
Refractometer
Digi Thermometer
Ecotech MP10 Quiet drive
IM Minimx Reactor
Media:
Filter Floss
Chemi Pure Blue nano
Cobalt Anti Nitrate Filter Resin
Bio pellets in reactor
I wanted to keep my budget around $1000 for all equipment and I spent $979.21 on all new stuff.
*Like Christmas Day for a reefer, BRS excellent packaging*

That is one sexy cube! Nice job

Sweet!!!

VERY nice :)
You might want to put that chalice on the sand bed or at least much lower in the tank. Just a suggestion
again, looking good :-ThumbUpsm
