Thx Keith. Its pretty much a neon toadstool farm, but oh well lol. Still young...

Nice! I kinda wish I woulda went with the 25 instead of the 20. The extra few inches front to back are totally needed IMO.

Do you find two A80's to be necessary? I'm running the IM Fusion 20 with just a single and it appears, so far, to be sufficient.

I do, yes. With one, it worked well, but I still had shaded area's on the sides and I really wanted to have 100% spread.

Since adding the 2nd, im very happy

How is the a80 im thinking about getting it for my 6g biocube, are you keeping any easier sps like porcillapora n montipora cap or lps? Thanks...your nuvo 20 looks nice, i might get the nuvo 20 n get rid of my 29g biocube. Thanks...

Jadams · 08/02/2017, 08:01 AM

I love the A80's. Excellent light! That would be perfect for your tank. Yes, I have 5 SPS in my tank right now.
Bubblegum Digi
Joe the Coral
Frogskin
Tricolor Valida
Red Monti Cap

All are doing great under these lights!

And you cant go wrong with getting one of these Nuvo 20's. You'll be super happy with the build quality and look.

PS:

About 2 days after that video, I ended up taking the Nepthea out to provide more room for the large toadstool. Here's an updated top down shot from lastnight.

aznflyfisherman · 08/03/2017, 09:08 AM

It is, but there were some shaded area's on the sides I wanted to alleviate.

murphreef · 08/03/2017, 12:13 PM

looks really clean and healthy good work

dzheng · 08/03/2017, 03:53 PM

Good looking tank. Need to get me a IM 20!

Jadams · 08/04/2017, 07:47 AM

Thank you Justin & dzheng!

Jadams · 09/20/2017, 03:42 PM

Picked up a 2nd RBTA a week ago. It was pretty pale when I got him, but he's starting to color up and extend much more

Took a few updated shots yesterday during a water change

davebailey46 · 09/21/2017, 06:06 AM

Great post, you are selling me on the Nuvo 20. I like the clean look.

Jadams · 09/21/2017, 09:21 AM

Thank you! Its still young and a work in progress. But getting there.
You should totally get the Nuvo 20. You wont be disappointed!! :cheers:

Anthony357 · 09/25/2017, 12:53 PM

i have the same nuvo 20 with a AI Hydra 26HD, just one of them, and i feel its enough lighting for the tank. It sits about 9 or so inches above water level

taby15 · 09/29/2017, 04:01 PM

Would a clownfish and green/ blue Chromis get along in a setup this size?
