Hello all! Long time listener; first time caller. I've taken in so much knowledge from this forum, but today I've finally decided to contribute. Here's my Innovative Marine NUVO Fusion 30 Pro Build. It's been up and running since Feb 2021 and it has taken me a lot of trial and error to get to this point. I've had a few setbacks but I finally feel like I have a good feel for my tank and plan on adding some new inhabitants and maybe some coral soon. He's my aquarium and part lists. Feel free to ask question.
