My IM Fusion 20

[jasyu]

Hi Guys just started my 2 feet nano 5 weeks back. Time to post some pictures.

[jasyu]

Using fan for cooling at the moment as no plans to keep SPS yet.

IM Ghost skimmer as it fits the tank

IM Media reactor to run my zeolites, yes going down the zeovit path

[jasyu]

Using Tunze osmolator as an ATO, important as nano tank tends to fluctuate in salinity.

13 liter tunze container that can last me 9 days.

[jasyu]

Good thing about zeovit, 14 days cycling of tank then can start loading. Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate all zero.

1st fish: Royal Gamma from LCK. my most favourite fish compare to the helfrinchi firefish

2nd and 3rd fish: Mated pair of Purple firegoby. Was luck picked 2 from iwarna and they happen to be a pair. They sleep together in the same hole and swim together. How I was it was a helfrinchi pair. Oh well maybe next time

Anemone: Bought wat looks like to be a red bubble tip at iwarna but when I came home under the lights it started to grow and expand. Think it is a luminous green bubble tip but its tentacles are really long for it.

[jasyu]

Started with my first coral. Gonipora and got a true percula pair for my anemone.

How's the skimmer doing?

[Admiraltian]

How do u shake the zeolite stones in the reactor since it's not a zeolite reactor?

[Harlequinmania]

Your fan is a bit small for the tank size, does it manage to drop the temperature?

[jasyu]

How's the skimmer doing?

Skimmer is fine can managed to pull out dark tea stuff. Trying to make it more dry to prevent less loss of trace elements thru skimming

[jasyu]

The mini max reactor allows you to pull the chamber up from the pump and shake it. To me it's a brilliant design. Google a few videos and take a look

[jasyu]

Drop by 1-2 degree so temperature fluctuate between 28-30 degree throughout the day. But I feel still not strong enough. Any recommendations really do not want to go down the chiller path.

Interesting with the zeolite in that nano reactor. I guess the stones are small enough. What else do you dose at the initial stage?

[jasyu]

Yeah and the flow rates are just nice for the tank this size.

I dose zero start and zeobak but not sponge power as it has not arrived when I start cycling. Apparently no difference as it finished in 14 days. Follow the zeovit guide it's quite accurate.

Get the ans3000 fan. I am using it and getting around 27-28.

Nice tank buddy. I agree, the zeovit 14day cycle works like a charm. Mine took 10 days, 14th day sps inside already.

nice set up bro... any reason why you're not keen on a chiller?

[jasyu]

I have been thinking too but am just worried on the running cost per month. The chiller alone seems to take up more power than the entire tank. Any advise?

[Bunster]

you're already going down a slippery slope called reefing.... embrace the dark side and just get a chiller...

but jokes aside... I've got one of those mini chillers that somebody gave me but I've never used...

like this one ... http://eastoceanaquatic.blogspot.sg/2014/10/al-mini-chiller-review.html

can pass it to you to try out, not sure how effective it is

[jasyu]

Heard someone using this on my tank but too weak to bring the temperature down. Which model u have on ur hand. The 20 liter one or 60 liter one. Btw which chiller are you using.

I am using the same tank with u. And using the ans3000 fan.

Where u get the fan bro? U blow it at the back compartment or directly at the tank. Cover on or off? Paiseh just want to check hard to find ppl using the same tank

The fan is bigger.got it from ah beng. half will be blowing in the ios. Half will be blowing in the main tank. With cover on Temp is around 27-28 deg.

[jasyu]

Ok got it from ah Beng. Great price. Now to test it out.

Good. But prepare to top up more. Cos of the more powerful wind. The evaporation will be more.

[jasyu]

No problem got ato. But my royal gamma seems a bit sick today. Haiz hope he recovers.
