Jackies Nuvo 16g

I just realized I never posted this tank once I moved everything over that I wanted to keep after selling my 42g versa.

Tank: 16g nuvo innovative marine
Light: Nanobox Duo V2
Upgraded pump
Spinstreams
Jebao doser
ATO

Pair of spoticinctus clowns


So heres an update that I posted on nano-reef:

Wow it's been a bit since I have been on here. It's been a rough month here we found out my Dad has lung cancer, then my grandpa (my dads dad) passed away about a week later and this week my husbands dad had a quadruple heart bypass! Needless to say we are ready for a break that won't be coming anytime soon with my dads lung cancer. On a good note though we have husky puppies due this coming week that we are so excited about!
As for the tank it's been doing fairly well with me neglecting it for the most part, I did loose my clam as it was never happy after the tank move. Other than that everything is looking good other than my zoas have lost a lot of color. My once mostly green with only slight brown grandis palys are now all brown, my sunny d's that were gorgeous before are ticked off and not ever happy, my eye of saurons that had awesome color and pattern before are now just a reddish color:( Not sure if it's not enough light, too many nutrients or what but I have a water change ready to do tomorrow and maybe if I actually do those they will start looking better.
I also still have my rainbow anemone that seems to be hiding in these pics it tucks itself down behind the blue sponge until midday.

Anyway here are a few pics:

magna palys, ribbon gorgonian, string of pearls, sonic flares zoas


ticked off and now odd colored sunny d's, teal hammer and some mushrooms


now all brown grandis palys

Thanks so much!

Where are you keeping parameters? Everything is looking great! What's your photoperiod?

Also, I will be needing puppy pictures so I can vicariously live through you :)

Seems I have my Doser things are staying pretty stable. My cal was a bit lower than I like when I checked the other day so I upped it. My alk sits about 8.4, mag 1300, and cal was about 370 and I shoot for about 420 so I upped it a bit. I'll take some pics of what I have my lights running at. And yes I will for sure post puppy pics when they arrive hopefully by this weekend!

Puppy pic for attention:



These "little" munchkins are three weeks old today! I can't believe how fast they grow!

A couple tank pics from yesterday: As many of you know I sold off all my more expensive stuff so the tank looks a bit bare right now:)

There's just the 4 hoses three are my alk, cal and mag and then the other one is my ATO hose, I think what you're seeing all the way to the left is just my probe
