New IM Nuvo 15 Journey

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Super lazy weekend with nothing done...rebirth island lol I'm a loser! Means busy evening, water change, and testing! Small brown patches growing in the sand but not bad just hoping its diatoms. Thinking of moving my rock work/corals around a bit. Need to get the Fiji leather moved over and a few more mushrooms. New corals come tomorrow for the 45 so need to make room, only been waiting a month for them to ship!

Exciting news!
-Ordered a Yasha goby and candy strip pistol! Tired of waiting on my LFS to order the flame fin goby and I talked myself out of one in that time. These seem a bit more active maybe, hopefully comes in happy and healthy Wed! Almost got a pygmy hawkfish also but my better judgement kicked in.....for once lol!
-Also boosting my CUC, ordered some that will be split between the tanks, got 10 cerith, 10 nassarius, and 4 turbo snails!
-Lastly a refreshing order of @Reef By Steele Titanic Pods!! Thought 32oz was a bit much last order so 16oz split between the 15 & 45 should be perfect!

Filter roller seems to be working well since putting back in, turning about double what I had been doing and much happier with the water clarity. Not loving the flow still, not sure if I will ever be happy with it.
Really conflicted with my lighting, while searching for a used Prime 16 I somehow talked myself into upgrading my other tank lighting.... So no I need to decided if I want to keep the NooPsyche mini (which is fine but don't love) or put a Hydra 32 on this. Seems a bit overkill but I won't get much selling it so that's the hang up. Waiting to rent the par meter again, so will need to make that decision sooner than later.

I can't wait to see those new corals and goby pistol pair!! Exciting week for you!

I saw that. That's really dissapointing... I hope everything works out for you.

That's rough. I hope the fish pulls through

Well fish disappeared so that’s that, I’m getting some kind of credit but not sure what. Pistol is alive I think, I’ve seen sand shifted back and forth where I think he is. Everything seems happy, everything survived being gone for 5 days w/ no upkeep so that’s a relief, was on the verge of having issues though. Threw a few more corals in there, got a new powerhead but only made sure it works, need to find time to mess with everything.

Not much changed, corals are doing good. This fish is a fish graveyard, lost quite a few. Known and unknown reasons, pretty frustrating.
Current stock now
2 lighting maroon clowns
1 dwarf geometric hawk
1 free lawnmower blenny
Pistol is still kicking

Honestly I’m already getting tired of this setup, mainly because it’s just turning into a catch all from my other. (Was kinda the point when first setting it up) Still on the fence about pulling most of the leathers and putting a nem in. Like everything I can’t make up my mind lol.

 

[ralquist]

Bit of a change/trial period but the nem is in, first time feeding since the move!

 

[ralquist]

Welp the nem decided to split last night, recorded as much as I could! Phone shifted half way through, I’ve got a tripod for my phone ordered now lol. Kinda neat.

That is soooo cool!

What this didn't show is my clown super ticked cause his new home was doing something different, kept going back and forth like it was trying to push the tentacles back together lol. Glad I waited to remount my other corals, hopefully they will settle down and I can get some frags glued down! I'm shocked my mushroom has survived under that so far, only one I couldn't remove. It had moved off the frag plug and onto the main rock, hopefully it will make it!
