    Been away for a while , and decided to start a pico for the bedroom. I have also started a Mr. Aqua 25x18x18 in my living room but not much to show as of yet. I will make a separate thread when the time is right.




    Tank : 3g JBJ Picotope (drilled)
    Sump: AGA 2.5g
    Return : Maxi-Jet 1200
    Lighting : LEDTRIC Full Spectrum PAR38
    ATO : JBJ / aqualifter


    Got the tank partially drilled today , still waiting on the bit to show up for the return. Got the glass-holes.com overflow installed , and back of tank painted .

    Pics coming soon

    Tank was rescued from the tank graveyard in my closet. Still have a bit of cleaning to do to get it 100% ready, but its coming along.

    I was thinking the same thing. I love watching the relationship between the two, plus in a tank this small it will be easy to see them. lol

    Can't wait to see this tank move along. Sometimes I just love small tanks

    Those convict gobies can be pretty aggresive, and in that size of a tank, i'd say one or the other.

    Being that they live in two different places of the tank (one being a burrow dweller, and the other a rock dweller) I think it may work. If both were occupying the same space then i would agree 100%. Also, being that the tank is so small it really wouldn't be an issue to remove one of them should there be a problem.
