Yamaharider/Daughter Pico Tank Build

Wuz up Yamaha??? I am still following this little venture!!!!

 

Well, nothing new to report. Damsel is doing well at the moment. No diatoms as of yet. the tank looks exactly the same. just kicking back and enjoying it for now. little girl still intrested and helping me with feeding the fish and telling me where its swimming...LOL

 

You guys are killing me! im dying to get a marine tank going and it keeps falling through.
Whats a general cost to get a nano up and running?
Whats the smallest tank i could put a dwarf lion in and what kind of corals can i keep with him?

 

Dont know about the lion, but the pico was around 50.00. I added a heater and 5lb of liverock, maybe 4lbs of sand, and a Chromis. Total cost so far. about 120.00, up and running. Optional equip...I added a small powerhead from an old tabletop fountain. I added a digital timer from wal-mart for the lights. 9.99. Here is my thread if you are interested.

thats not bad at all. I was looking at nanocubes and biocubes and some other little tanks on drs foster and they run around 200.
Just did a little reading and dwarf lions need 30 or bigger. gonna have to wait on that one. Where do you get the Picotope
Nevermind its right there on Dr fosters.

 

Lights, Filters, etc are cheap to replace!!;D

 

I agree. I may be upgradeing the lights when I start to get corals for it (not sure yet). I havent determined if a bigger filter will actually be needed at the moment. With very minimal live stock the LR should handle the majority of the filtration. (I hope )

 

Any updates Yamaharider?

I like it a lot;D .... just in the process of setting up my 110g and keep re-arranging too.... Just did a new aquascaping over the weekend :

 

Quick update....DIATOMS have arrived . hopefully it wont be long and I can start adding some corals.
