    I love how cheap my Pico was to build !!

    25 for a 5 rimless cube (deep blue)
    14 for the heater (tetra)
    22 for the AquaClear 20 (hagen)
    2 for a thermometer
    30 for rock and sand
    85 for the 8 Watt Skkye LED (innovative marine)

    So for around 180 I set up a fully functioning reef with perfect flow and lighting for soft hardy coral like GSP, Zoas, Shrooms or even Xenia, Leathers, or Hammers

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks nice and colorful. I like the slope the GSP are growing on.

    Yeah you have some nice coralline going there.

    Another couple months it will really grown in. Hopefully you will leave the corals in this tank rather than the upgrade?

    There is only 1 retailer in the united states. Just go to the zetlight website. Then find a dealer tab and click US then its called like prestige reef you have to call and place an order.
