Hey folks, I'm thinking about modding my Innovative Marine Mini-max nano reactor. Before I get in to what I want to do, let me explain my issue with it first: The minimax reactor is supposed to be designed to fit seamlessly with the IM line of AIO aquariums and for the most part, it does this...

Hey everyone, I have a 1.5" Yellow Watchman Goby that has somehow managed to squeeze it's way through my overflow, through a filter chamber, around the IM Ghost Protein Skimmer, and into the big middle chamber where I keep my heater, ATO switch and return pump. If you aren't familiar with this...

I'm in the process of setting up an Innovative Marine Fusion 20 tank and am trying to learn as much as possible. The return chamber is the largest chamber and has an area that is under chamber 1 and 2. It would seem that the water in that area would be stagnant. What would be the purpose of...

Hey all! I'm looking to upgrade the skimmer on my Nuvo 40. I currently have an IM Mid Skimmer and its just not producing as I would like. I have 6 small fish and I'd like to over power my skimming abilities. I'm between going internal skimmer for silence and form (the tank is in a bedroom) and...

I am new to this forum but not new to the hobby and have recently had to downsize so i chose the new innovative marine peninsula tank because it looks awesome on our kitchen bar. I have it cycled but have not added a skimmer yet because i have not found too much good information about what...

Current full tank shot: I am starting to get a lot more SPS, I guess I should start dosing soon... October 8th, 2017

Hey folks, I wanted to gather some feedback on the various skimmers that would fit in an Innovative Marine Nano Fusion 20. I currently have the IM ghost skimmer and I am pretty unsatisfied with it. It releases a lot of bubbles into the aquarium and never produces a dryer skimmate. I would like...

Hello all! My name is Dean. I'm from Toronto (Canada), and have been a fish keeper on and off for over 25 years. Started off with freshwater and while I really enjoyed it, I LOVE reef-keeping, and maintaining nano setups. Recently did a tank transfer to an Innovative Marine Lagoon 25, and...

Some background: I grew up working with my dad with freshwater tanks, and had wanted a saltwater tank for a long time. About a year ago, I finally bit the bullet and invested in a basic 10 gallon set up. Just some live rock, a hang on back filter, and a power head. I was immediately hooked. I...

Hey fellow reefers! Well hello, I just started this tank up about three weeks ago. Prior to that I was lurking around the forums gathering as much info as i could to set up a tank for my S.O. which came out great, but after 3 months she wanted to do the switch from saltwater to freshwater due to...

I have an open design Innovative Marine APS stand that I am trying to fit with a mounting board for my Apex and other equipment. I have a thin 12" x 24" piece of plywood I was planning on mounting in a way similar to the picture below, but I am still trying to think of the best way to mount it...

Hi everyone, This is one of my first posts here on R2R. I've been an active member of other forms online for many years, but I had never gotten around to posting here! I am going to be setting up an IM120 in about a month once my wife and I move into our new home. I have been sitting here...

I got my fusion 10 in and set it up, I used 10 lb dry rock, 10 lb fine sand. The sand has been a bit of a problem, it is constantly kicking up so I'm in the process of trying to tune my power heads location to prevent that. I was wondering what I could keep in here that isn't your basic...

I recently ordered a Innovative Marine 10 gallon AIO, I chose it without the Skyye Led because it seems pretty limiting. So my question is what is a good(relatively cheap) led that will fit this tank? I was looking at the SB reef lights sprite and that looked decent enough. Any suggestions?

Hello, Anyone here have this set-up? Please post pics. I would like to see how it looks like overall and how it sits on the chamber. Thanks!

i have a black nano box duo plus m real good condition about a year old never really going over 70% on any one channel. comes with bluefish controller and gooseneck clamp. $300 shipped. also intank media baskets that fit the Im 25 lagoon ( i forget what other models they fit in as well) ...

I have been meaning to post progression shots from the beginning and tank is now 8 months old. I moved to this tank from my first 14g biocube that had been doing great for the 8 months prior to the move. I am currently running a gen 2 xr30w and a gen 4 xr15 pro over the tank. For the first 7...

Hey guys, never done a build thread. I'm getting ready to start up a IM 14g peninsula nano, and I thought I would share my progress with you. I bought this tank because because I had purchased a Biota coral beauty angelfish online, not realizing exactly how small it is. I thought, "Ok, 1⅛"...

I have a thread on my local forum, but thought since I recently upgraded tanks that this would be a great time to start one on here as well. This build started out as a JBJ 24gallon in February of 2016. About a month ago I transferred everything over to the IM NUVO 40 rimless, and couldn't be...

Just wanted to say hello and thank you all for all the years of great information on this site. It has been so helpful to search through as I've had questions setting up my own tank. I have an IM Fusion Peninsula 20 up and running now and I couldn't have done it without the online communities...

Anybody know if IM or a different website sells a replacement pump, unfortunately mine just gave me an unbelievably painful shock when I reached into the clean the tank. Pump was only running for 4 days. Been out of the tank since and I'm looking to fix the pump and put it back into service...
