    Ditching my 20 gallon reef to go to something much simpler and enjoyable in my bedroom. An ecoxotic eco pico 5 gallon reef setup. Once my tank arrives I will go to petco and get live rock and a substrate. What kind would you recommend the most? Also to heat my 20 gal I use an eheim jäger 75watt heater. Is this too much for a 5 gallon? What about a 50watt jäger? If not what would you recommend. As for livestock I'm thinking putting one of my clowns in it and that's it. I will have coral of course. How can I speed up my cycle using my current tank? I don't want my eco pico to get any hitchhikers or anything from my previous tank. Wish I would have slowed down with it.
    So tell me what you think!

    I have a full set up, live rock, black sand and everything ready to go if you want it, check out my seahorse tank thread, all that can be yours for shipping costs only. its ideal for a 5g eco as i just set one up for my mantis tank. let me know if you want it. To be honest for me to ship this with the rock live and sand will prob be $20 or so, but it is prob worth it.

    If youpay $10 more I'll ship half a bottle of bio spira which will cycle your tank instantly and you be ready to go.

    I am just starting to Cycle my EcoPico For the heater I have a Cobalt Aquatics Neo Therm Heater ( Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm Heater ) I used Dry rock so I dont get any hitchhikers and Live sand. I will be getting 2 green banded gobys when I am done with the cycle. With clowns they need a little more room
