Yamaharider/Daughter Pico Tank Build

Well Santa brought my little girl and myself a 3 gal. JBJ pico tank for Christmas. I wasnt going to set it up until tomorrow but Robman posted pics of his and it got me excited about ours again so I asked my little girl if she wanted to set ours up. We already had everything needed so we went to work. Here is our creation. It will probably be just some zoes, mushrooms, and maybe a shrimp or two. I will probably get a dead shrimp tomorrow to put in it to start the cycle.I hope you enjoy

Thanks Robman!

 

you're off to a great start! you're making me want to set up my 20g now!

 

More build progression pics.

Heres a few more pics of our build progression.


I sure do wish my 120 went together this fast....LOL

 

LOL this is FUN!!

 

looks good to me Yamaharider

3 pieces of rock, Id probably still need at least 3 attempts at setting it up before I was happy
how many times do you re arrange them?

Well to start off my wife said I had to much sand in it so I broke it back down to get the sand out. I went back with 2 pieces because I couldnt get it t go back together right. my daughter and my wife didnt like it so I tore it back apart and spent about 5 mins rearranging it so they were happy. About a total of 15 times LOL. As long as My daughter is happy with it I am too.

 

Hey at least its a small tank, Could you imagine doing that to your 120? LOL.

 

I bet he can, and I bet many of us have been through the same
when its just rock, thats the perfect time for doing this
as when corals etc are in, and starting to spread it gets harder to make the changes

I did LOL. I set it up on the floor in the garage and rearranged it everyday for a week before I was happy with it.

+ 1 I agree the advantage this time is it was only about 6#'s instead of 165....LOL

 

the rockscape looks really good!
