GrimReefer Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Alright im back again, gave up on corals for a while since I work in the oilfield and my wife is not the best at looking over tanks. So I got my ferocious predator tank and the wife has the sad looking 29g biocube. So me being the nice guy I am suprising her with a new IM nuvo 38 (HOPEFULLY she tries a lil harder). Got a couple questions about some this new equipment thats out there. I got the jbj duo 700 led light for it. Never had leds so wondering what I could have under it sps only lps? Next does anyone have the cobalt neo-therm heater and is it worth paying 3 times as much as a regular heater? And third does anyone remember me? If so where are the frags for the new tank lol!

GrimReefer Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Last question, going to have a fuge in the back anyone have an idea on something to use or could I mount one to the back glass so it would be hidden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 You should be able to grow most anything under that light. Are you going to use a controller, or just timers? That heater is about as good as they come. But I typically just use hydor theo heaters and I've never had any problem. Make sure to test the temp and not trust the dial though. As far as rear chamber, check out: http://shop.mediabaskets.com/IM-Nuvo-38_c65.htm They offer a bunch of options for the rear compartment. I would probably go with floss on the top level followed by carbon/gfo if needed. I believe you can get a skimmer in the back as well without it getting too ugly.

Sascha D. Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Congrats on the predator tank! The only HOB refugium I know is this one. It has good reviews, but I've never tried it. I don't know you. I remember the name, but that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hey Grimreefer, Welcome back! If your wife is not the best at tank maintenance, perhaps a softie tank with some LPS? Just a simple water change every 2 weeks and clean the glass. I did that with my nanocube for 5 years with no issues. I did run a simple refugium in the back chamber to help with stability. Anyways, just an idea. Good luck with the new tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
