Nuvo 4 BB pico tank

[Jep21]

So i upgraded from my fluval 2.5 to a nuvo 4.. Im totally digging this tank more than the fluval..

So heres the specs:

4g nuvo
Flow:
Stock pump with spin stream
Koralia 240

Lighting:
PAR30 bulb via
Coral compulsion

Filter:
Carbon
Purigen
Filter floss

So this tank will be a permanent bare bottom tank.. Aquascape is pretty rough still since i just piled a bunch of dry rock in it:. Still havent decided what im gonna put in this tank but all i knw is it'll be house a baby platinum clown with some nems..

Stock:
Green clown goby
Peppermint shrimp
Green small anemone
Baby rbta

Corals:
Xenia
Yellow paly
Birdsnest(fresh frags)

Dosing:
Calcium
Selcon(found that i had great success keeping nems doing some spot feeding/dosing in tank)

Future plans are to maybe upgrade lighting to a dimmable full spectrum par38 bulb but still unsure since i like how my corals/nems respond to the current light

Also huge thanks to will lutman for the awesome tank

thanks walt.. i am loving the bare bottom look.. and with the koralia in the tank it helps move all the gunk in the tank around to keep it clean.

Sure no problem.. I just used a lamp clamp from coral compulsion.com..
They look awesome and are able go hold par30's and par38 bulbs..
