We bought ourselves a tiny gift

Picked this up brand new in the box along with 5lbs of live sand from a local reef guy for $35. Its still in the box but we will be setting up once we figure out where its going to go. Not sure of plans for livestock yet but it will more then likely just be coral, inverts and maybe one small fish. We'll keep pics posted as we get it set up, cycled and stocked. Anyone else have a cool pico on here?

 

Thats a steal! How fun that will be
Thats it - I need another tank!;D

 

Yea we've been wanting something small to toy around with but didnt know exactly which model to buy. We saw this on craigslist yesterday and it was to good of a deal to pass up.

 

I was just thinking that same thought. Everyone is getting a pico. When you gonna be open colorado reef ill buy it from you

 

trimma goby, yasha haze goby/pistol shrimp pair, several sexy shrimp, etc. There's a lot of very small fish you can put in there.

 

Great! We were not sure what exactly people kept in them other than coral, snails and maybe shrimp. Does anyone know how much of a cuc these things require? We tried the search feature but it kept returning different pages of the same 2 or 3 threads. Cant wait to get this tank up and running.

 

I'll say it again, what a steal!! It will be a lot of fun putting that together.

 

LOL it will still be awhile. If you really want something- I can get it now. We have everything we need to buy/sell. The store just isn't set up yet. I already purchased some skimmers and a small livestock order. We have a few tanks set up between my brother and I.

We have a 6 Gal and we just have 7 snails and 4 hermits.

 

i have a pico with a mantis in there right now but i might get a new tank for him and make a sweet lps tank- im running a 12 inch coralife with an aquaclear 70 filter modded to a fuge... it works great! before the shrimp i kept a boring old yellow tail damsel and a few sexys and turbo snails- good luck! if you have anyquestions feel free to ask

 

We were thinking about a mantis but have heard they are not safe with coral. We will more then likely do the modded Aquaclear once we find a used one cheap, they seem to be on craigslist quite often. Cant bring ourselves to buy a brand new one just to hack it up.
