After 2 years away from the hobby, I've decided to jump back in! Now I know this isn't some monster build, but nanos have always had a small place in my heart! I've decided to go with a 20 Gallon Nuvo Concept Peninsula tank, it offers a very unique style, while also being a nano AIO build! Prepare for the photo dump of setting it up!
Day 1: When the packages with the tank and stand arrived!
Day 2: After Setting up everything in place!
Day 6: Setting up some of the equipment and adding the rock and sand!
Day 8: Added the first bit of saltwater and started the cycle!
Day 10: Worked on Cable management and added my ATO!
Day 17: Where the tank is currently standing! Day 9 of the cycle!
Equipment list:
Tank: 20 Nuvo Concept Penninsula
Stand: Innovative Marine 50 Lagoon APS Stand
Light: Kessil A360X Tuna Blue with WiFi Dongle
Light Mount: Kessil A-Series Mounting Arm
Heater: Helio PTC 100W Smart Heater
ATO: JBJ Dual Sensor Nano Auto Top Off
Wave Pump: IM Wavelink 1500 GPH Desktop AIO Powerhead
Rock: CarribSea Liferock shapes from BRS
Sand: CarribSea Fiji Pink Arag-Alive Reef Sand
RODI Unit: BRS 4 Stage 100 GPD
I hope you enjoy the build as much as I do, I'm looking forward to flooding this tank with softies and LPS, and eventually dip my toes into SPS for the first time! As for the fish stocking in this tank... I've always had a community tank but I'm going oddball with this one! I've decided I want to have my own little water dog.. a Wartskin Frogfish! It'll be a couple months before I can get one, and it will be a challenge for me to find one.. but that's my goal right now! If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to follow the build, I'd love the company!
