Hello.

It's been several years since I've been in the reefing hobby.

After much back and forth I decided on ordering a IM Nuvo 75gal EXT.

There's a lot of changes since I've last had a tank (last one was a 10gal nano).

It'll probably be a slow build with gradual collection of equipment, but I've made the first step and ordered the tank today!

My current goal is mixed reef, LPS + SPS. Will likely adjust lighting and water movement as things grow out/change.

Equipment:

Tank:
Innovative Marine Nuvo 75gal EXT

Sump:
RFS 27 (included with the full set up)

Stand:
APS Stand

Heater:
Innovative Marine Helio PTC 400W

Skimmer:
Reef Octopus Regal 150 INT

Return:
Mightyjet XL (2656gph DC)

Lighting:
2 x Kessil A360XE

Powerhead:
1 x MP40wQD

ATO:
Tunze Osmolator 3

Livestock:

Fish:
TBD

Coral:
TBD
