Hello fellow reefers, it's been a while since I've been serious about this hobby, but I'm going all in again! Since I've not seen much info on other guys using the Nuvo-INT 50 in their build, I figured I'll share what I'm currently building.
Equipment used;
Tank = Innovative Marine NUVO-INT 50 with Internal Overflow Aquarium
Stand = Innovative Marine APS Cabinet Stand
Sump = Trigger Systems Emerald CUBE Sump - 20x20 inch
Skimmer = Bubble Magus Curve 5
Return Pump = For now, a Jabeo DCP-2500 (Will probably upgrade this to a Current USA eFlux6009, unless anyone recommends differently)
Light = I'll be using a single Radion XR15
Everything came in about a week ago, plumbed over this past weekend, and water in as of yesterday. Couple little challenges I experienced in this build so far.
1.) The 20" Trigger sump only had one return line originally, so I had to drill out a 2nd hole to support the Bean Animal Drain.
2.) The sump fits perfectly in the IM stand, but I did have to remove the bottom magnets for the two doors. This is not a problem since there are also two magnets on the top to support the doors closing and locking in place.
I'll do my best to provide updates on a monthly basis.
Here's some pics of my progress so far.
