New Beginings With The Pico-With Pictures!

It's a 3 gallon acrylic Marineland tank I got at Petsmart. It is a slight bowfront tank. Came with an LED fixture and internal Whisper filter. I tossed to fixture somewhere since it wasn't enough to support anything and I am using the pump off the filter for the ATO.

 

mines the exact one, except i got the 5 gallon version. i think its a great little tank.

 

Yeah I'm liking it as well. It's all one piece but the only downfall is the acrylic scratches.

 

Very nice build and plans

 

Thanks! Going to empty out the tank and let it dry tonight. So I can work on the racks. And try to find a way to mount the moonlights.

 

Great little setup I think im going to try a little one for my desk at work I've been looking at the fluval edge. I saw a saltwater setup at that fish place and fell in love saving to do it soon can wait to see yours with livestock in it.

 

i would do one of these little setups, a fluval is very hard to mod for saltwater.

 

If I were to go back and start over I would have gotten a 2.5 standard glass tank. These little setups are pretty expensive and most of the stuff you won't even need (light,filter, etc.)

So if I were you save $20+ and get a 2.5 or 5 standard glass tank. With that extra you save you can get a heater and probably an Aquaclear filter.

 

Got the rack made! Wasn't too hard.





There is plenty of room on the front and sides for a magnet cleaner.

The plans of arrangement is SPS on the top and middle shelves, and zoas/acans/GSP on the sand bed. I might drill holes into the rocks the frags are on and zip them into place.

 

nice rack!;D
