I just picked up a Brand New Nuvo IM 40 Rimless AIO and would love some feed back on how to set it up!! I currently have up and running a 130 with 150lbs of LR and a 2 1/2" layer of sand and 2 clowns. My sump is 40 gallon with a Bubble Magnus 7 and Carbon Canister from BRS!! The only thing I plan on using from the 130 is the Rock and 2 clowns!! Any advice or input on Skimmers, lights filtration etc.... Would be greatly appreciated!!! I would like to start introducing soft corals but nothing to crazy yet!! Lol

Thanks In advance

Mike

Anyone with a 40 pm you
I only have there nano of IM

Skimmers & lights is always best to overshoot on most reef set ups
just overkill it with the best lights and skimmer in your budget.

unless its staying FOWLR tank, undershoot the lights but get a even bigger skimmer for fish load
IMO of course
any1 else wanna chime in

Very nice set up! Did you get the stand build custom? Did you build it yourself looks great!

Thank You!! A little team work!! I built the frame, my chick stained it and a buddy skinned it in Pecan Wood!! It's solid!! I wanted that rustic look and it sits @ 4' tall.
