pico aquariums

Hi everyone, I have a PNW customs 1 gallon small-in-one aquarium and am looking to upgrade the flow in the tank. Their website sells a random flow generator from VCA that is supposedly designed specifically for PNW Customs 1-gallon-and-under tanks, however it clearly states on the back of the...

Still researching what type of tank I want. I’m leaning towards 120 gallon peninsula as my first tank. I’ve learned a decent amount so far about aquariums. I was wondering, so I’ve heard so many people say it’s super hard to keep a 5 gallon tank, as parameters can swing very quickly. But why...

I have a Fluval betta cube 6gallon tank that I’ve converted into a reef tank, but with the current filtration it doesn’t get hardly any flow, I bought a hygger hg222 that has up to 660gph but on the lowest setting with the widest wave attachment but it just blows my sand all over, is there a...

Hi everyone! I was given this eShopps Deskmate/with LED as a gift recently, however, I am sticking with my Waterbox 10G for now. Is there anyone interested? I am in So Cal, Huntington Beach, near Walmart on Beach Blvd. You can PM here or email me directly at [email protected]

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I am a college student currently but keep two tiny aquariums that I have recently learned are not nano but pico/femto tanks. Here are some photos: I might edit to add some more later. Currently, I have 6 snails under my care: - Peter...

Hey all. It has been a while since my last little reef build. The Mrs. and I are in the process of moving, so a new larger setup is out of the question. Not sure if I want to go reefing fallow though, so I’m setting up a tiny reef tank on my desk to keep the coral side of my brain happy until...

First two corals added on 1/12/24! Excited for new chapter!

I’m Emmanuel Ramirez, currently living in Edinburg Texas, studying at a Bible College with my wife and kids. Been in the hobby for 2 years now and I love it. Been using R2R for all kinds of information on the reefing Hobby, but finally decided to join. Will be posting pictures of my soft...

My marineland 5 gallon portrait pico reef! It's been up and running about 3 months now!

Hello, my friends. This is my other tank thread. I have a nano of 125L (33 Gallon), but needed to set this pico because my clowns became agressive with all the other tankmates. So, in the pico are my clowns and a Yellow Clown Goby (the only tankmate from the nano that get along with the clowns...

Is that possible in a 3-5 gallon? Halides produce a lot of heat and apparently even LED's do too. Considering the small volume of water, could lights alone maintain at least 75F in the tank?

Hi, I have a Fluval Evo 5. The tank has been running for about 6-7 months now, absolutely no issues until now. I had a pike blenny and a elongate dottyback (too small of a tank and overstocked, I know, was planning on moving them to a 16 gallon) until both vanished one day. I pulled apart the...

Hey all, so I I’ve kept fish since I was a teen (with a long break) but up until last year was just freshwater. Towards the end of last year I finally pulled the trigger on saltwater with a Fluval Evo 13.5 and it’s been amazing so far. I’ve always been enamored by marine life. Fast forward, my...

Hello all, Usually just poke my head in once in a while to see what everyone is up to, but this time I decided to make a small thread for my small tank It’s only .3 gallons so not a lot to work with, but slowly turning it into a good old fashioned tiny mixed reef is my desire. As far as...

Hello, I retired my 10g last year as I was moving a lot and was to big to easily move. I’m comfortable moving tanks without destabilizing it to much so not worried about that. I want to get into desktop reef tanks. I’m wanting 1gallon but no bigger than 2.5 gallons. Any recommendations for AIO...

While strolling through the elbows of people at Aquashella today, my kids and I came across the most interesting tank but it had jellyfish! We had to pick one up as something like this is usually only seen at the beach far south, making this a really cool find. Anyone seen any of these tanks...

I’ve been having trouble finding the best light to use for a 2 gallon Pico tank I recently set up. I would LOVE to be able to grow small acros in this thing, but using the extra ai prime I have seems a little like overkill. Any suggestions? Would like to keep it around $50 but I know that’s a...

Maybe im a bit bias because ive put so much work into this little pain in the butt 3 gallon, but i think its pretty nice ;)!

after being on and off for the last 5 ish years with multiple tanks of varying sizes… i am finally BACK in the hobby and man does it ever feel good! may i present my newest adventure: a 3 gallon LPS (euphyllia dominant) pico! the rainbow hammer colony was just added today so please don’t mind...

Hey all, After owning a Biocube for over a year, I was wanting to own another tank! Immediately I was thinking of doing a 125 gallon tank but then after doing some research and finding things around my house I decided to do a 5 gallon Rock Flower Anenome tank. I do have a 5 gallon AIO that I...

Hi Everyone! I am going to be taking on the challenges of building a tank from scratch, and doing a pico reef! Im new to reef tanks and would love as much advice as I can get! Im planning to build the tank to be overall 8"x8"x8" and leaving a 2" section in the back to do an AIO setup, so the...

***Posted in wrong thread, moved to Build thread*** Hi everyone, I thought i'd do my first build thread. After a rollercoaster few months with my large 30Gal which is now calming down, evidently i get a high off consistent panic, so i've decided to induce more stress on myself. Secondhand 2...

For the entire time I’ve been reefing, I have been setting my frags in the most stable locations on my live rock without using any adherent. I just started two new pico builds, one has a protopalythoa Zooanthid that seems a little stressed sometimes but also seems happy at others and isn’t...
