Nuvo 16 start up... - Page 2

When did the 2nd gens start rolling out?

MikeMiniReef · 03/07/2013, 02:00 PM

I just got the Nuvo 16 and Maxspect Razor as a package deal with 10% coupon from MarineDepot last week. Good thing I waited since I almost bought them separately costing $230 more (and I would have never used the 2 Innovative Marine lights anyway). Here's my tank pre-set up for location but still have to do a leak test. Let me know what dimmable percentages you use for your 6 time-points on your Razor. Mine will never be at 100% max which should also prolong the life of the lights.

cant wait to see whats you're gonna put in it

I'm thinking of getting this same system. Did you register with MarineDepot to get the 10% coupon?

MikeMiniReef · 03/17/2013, 09:50 AM

acuario: MarineDepot actually just created a 10% discount code for everyone to use the same week they put the combo Nuvo 16/Maxspect Razor on sale. I recommend you "like" the MarineDepot facebook fan page to stay up to date with all their specials and future coupon codes. They also do great customer service from their facebook page as well.

I haven't filled my tank yet since I'm waiting to see details on the upcoming Nuvo 24 gallon tank which should be announced this month. "Might" sell my Nuvo 16/Razor pending what they release with the 24 gallon.

So I got busy and put the set up on the burner...well, I found myself some time and here we go.

Couple of things...

I bought everything from my LFS, they do a great job and really not that pricey for NYC.

About 20lbs of Live Sand
12lbs of Live Rock

The Vortech is running on Lagoon Mode, I like that it rolls hard and soft.

My lighting TPs are:
07:00: 10% B 20% W
12:00: 50% B 60% W
15:00 80% B 90% W
19:00 75% B 40% W
22:00 45% B 5% W
24:00 1% B 1% W

Here's a couple of storm cloud pics, more to follow as the tank clears.

Almost...

smy168 I was wondering if you had any corals set up in your tank yet and if so how are you liking the R420R lights? The stock lights are not nearly enough for what I have in my nuvo 16 so I am looking to upgrade my lights.

smy168 · 08/20/2013, 06:27 PM

I have mostly softies and a single frogspawn right now, getting ready for some acro frags in the next couple of weeks.

The light is fantastic but I only run it at about 70% max, 120w is way too much for this "short" system especially since I have a 3.5 inch sandbed.

I think you should look into their nano 60w if you really want to be able to use the system the way it's suppose to run.

I'll get some pics up tonight.

Looking nice man!

I rock the finnex on my jbj12 (soon to be RSM 130D!). It's a great little work horse.

Are you going to put more live rock in, or leaving it as is?

smy168 · 08/21/2013, 06:41 PM

These pics are from my phone so they aren't great. The light is fantastic and the MP10 is what gives me my issues as far as setting the modes to not go insane with a DSB. only fish I have roaming around is a Pygmy Angel, Sixline and Randall's Goby.

terrypercula · 08/21/2013, 06:43 PM

Looking good!
