3 gallon ocean NOW WITH 100% MORE WATER

I wanted to start another tank, but didn't want to spend a fortune so ........ I started a pico and settled on spending a SMALL fortune.:-/

 

here are some of the future inhabitants :

Thanks Steve,

I hope it turns out to be as nice as it is in my head.

Looks like it is going to be a sweet pico. Like the choice of substrate.

The zoanthids are stunning, love the galaxy appearence to some of them.

The ricordia are so colorful.

 

The great thing about a pico is that you can show off small specimens that might be overlooked in a larger tank. The pics you showed will look awesome in there. Any plans for critters that walk or swim?

 

At first I was thinking about a Barnacle Blenny since they really dont move around much, but started thinking I would need more than one to get the true personality. Not really sure a tank this small could handle the bio load. So its back to brainstorming. Also thought about a goby/pistol pair.


any ideas ??

I am partial to the idea of a goby pistol pair. If it was me, I would go with a tiger pistol and watchman goby. But that is just me.

 

ok, I decided to go with the goby/pistol pair, but I also want to put a few bumble bee shrimp in as well. Does anyone know if the pistol would go after them ? it will be a randalls pistol, the one I have now in the 40 seems to leave my sexies alone but I wonder if one can be more aggressive than another even though they are the same type. Any help would be great.

Ok, the DECO kit totally BLOWS. The acrylic scratches even if you look at it too hard, so with that being said I now have a 6 gallon rimless GLASS tank. It will be equipped with a aquaclear 70 HOB that is modded into a fuge, and I am looking into either a 70w MH or a 4 bulb T5 setup. Pics to come soon.
