Pico in the works..still

[Anonymous]

Kinda barren but on its way..Ive had it for a few months just havent had the time nor the funds to really stock it... Hopefully by the beginning of the year..plus i have trouble finding small enough frags for it...

Looks cool... what tank is that? And what do you use for light and circulation? Finally, aren't you asking for trouble with the Caluerpa (going sexual) and with the Polyp (heavy feeding)?

Other than that it looks great! I'm looking for one for myself, didn't quite decide on the size. I'm entertaining something <2gal and yours looks about 2gal...

All the best,
Mihai

That looks like the same 3/4g Azoo/red sea set up I'm running.

Looking good Nikon

I did find that since I havea sun coral in mine that running with the the filters seems to really help the life in the tank. I also modified mine with two LED moonlinghts hidden in the stock light fixture. Looking back at it now one would have been enough but makes for a nice effect.

nikon,
how often are you finding you need to top-off? or do you have a auto setup? are you manually cleaning the walls?

holry,
are you using the moonlights also as actinics or strictly as moonlighitng? that small of a tank figure the led's could do doubletime as act-supps.

Huh? What's that? I looked at redseafish.com for tanks and didn't see any...

I'd love to have a pico (<2g) that has a neat circulation and decent light in a reasonablyl looking canopy - any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mihai

Nikon and Holry,

I really think a Green Clown Goby would look great in your set-up.

btw, can se your face reflecting slightly (nose, eyes, mouth) on the right side of the tank :wink:

I use a tooth brush to clean the inside of the tank...Brandon429 has a magnet that he made for small picos...I top off every day but i have a clear acrylic top which slows down the evaporation...You can see scratches in the tank and i can see the reflection of my camera...

Moon lights are just moon lights I don't double time them. I clean the glass with a paper towel from time to time but very rarely.

reefnutz,
Putting a fish in this is torture...I learned the hard way with a juvie tomato clown, who didn't make it I was hoping to move him to my 55 but alast not now.

The package was put together by Red Sea but the parts are by other manufacturers (ie the tank itself is azoo) LFS $35

Too big of a fish man...need to keep them small..like clown gobies or neon gobies...A juvie clown was probably way too big to start and are far more active...A dwarf goby or a smaller goby would work great in a nano if the proper precautions are taken, ie heater and water quality..I had a neon in mine but no heater..I imagined it parished due to the temp differences when the lights went out at night...My fault, i need a heater before i add any fish...

Thanks,

Mihai,

Sorry it was Deco-Art combo. The kit comes complete with everything you need:

3/4g Azoo acrylic tank
Red Sea Power Filter Nano
7watt 7200k Clip on Light

Nikon,
Yeah your right I was a bad kid and should have know better about the clown. But now that I look back on it I can't really see any fish making in too long in these lil' tanks with stressing out from one issue or another. Aso since they don't make nice lil' (non eyesore) heaters for these tanks I will avoid fish for now. It will be a invert only

PS: If it can be done successfully...Is ther a good shrimp choice for tank of this size?

Mihai,
You can hate me now...I just picked up a another setup that was discounted at the evil Petco for $22. I just pass it up. I'll either find something to do with it or give it to my sister as a gift

 

[Mihai]

I don't hate you: I'll just rush to my Petco see if they have them on sale .

That would still take up the majority of the back of the tank.

Thank for th link of the shrimp...that bumble bee look very interesting, I'll have to find out more about them
