    Here's my series of tank progressions

    Started with this 3 gallon tank

    [​IMG]

    Then I made an AIO 10 gallon and transfered everything from the 3 gallon

    [​IMG]

    After a week or two the false wall started leaking heavily so I tore down the tank to restart, here is the temporary holding tank

    [​IMG]

    Now with the redone tank

    Then I had some algae problems but the fine sand made it hard to add flow so I once again tore it down and set it up as a frag tank

    pico would really refer to anything under 3 gallons. even a 6 gallon is still considered a nano.

    Haha you have no idea. I'm now trying to find a good spot for the korila and going to have to change the small diameter flex tubing to something bigger because it is cutting the flow of the pump dramatically.

    Once I get that done, my next step is to get some chaeto for nitrate control and a source for pods. :p It's an on going process to get the tank the way I want it.

    I will throw my 10 gallon tank into the mix, ~ 2 months old.
