pico aquariums

Back in February of 2020 I started my fish keeping hobby and started out with freshwater. And after having so many small tanks I finally got a 10 gallon fresh tank. All I have to do to this tank is change the water and clean out the pre filter sponge. Everything else works it’s self out! So then...

Hey everyone, I was up in the loft the other day and found my old aqua one duo Betta villa and thought it would make a nice little tank. I then cut it all up and resiliconed it, I removed the centre part and AIO filtration and moved it to one side to create a tiny 8L peninsular tank. I think I'm...

The color on these corals is excellent and by mitigating evaporation, it stays very stable. Only spends 30 mins per week on total maintenance. Kinda flies in the face of “picos are hard and params can fluctuate wildly. Reef Bowl

Hello all! About 6 weeks ago I rescued a 5+year old Fluval EVO V setup that the previous owner had let slide and was ready to literally flush and toss. :eek: Equipment: It had been setup as a reef tank with the stock AIO equipment and filtration, and what looks to be an aqueon 50w heater. About...

Hello, recently i got a new 2.5 gallon tank. i’ve had plenty of freshwater tank experience and i know how difficult smaller tanks can be with fluctuating parameters... So far I have about an inch of sand on the bottom and some live rock, I’ve purchased saltwater from my lps and the tank is...

Hi all, Thanks for taking the time to view this. Firstly I have done some searching on this forum at PICO tanks and will continue to do research before committing. However... As this is my first SW tank I am open to all ideas and thoughts. I have OCD so the aesthetics need to be minimal, for...

I’ve got this 2 gallon pico tank set up and stocked but the top of the rock work looks a little bare. Is there a good coral to keep in a pico tank that likes medium to high par reading and high flow?

Hi there, So I had this idea of converting a 5g (25x25x30cm not sure in inches) dennerle to an AIO to keep some LPS like hammer, blasto, acans and some shrooms. I am trying to stay as low budget as possible, so hunting around for used lights. I have this rare opportunity of picking up a Kessil...

Hi, I want to see all of your guys’ nano reef tanks!! Please post pics if you have a tiny reef :) This is my Fluval spec iii turned marine aquarium. The only thing I changed was the light to a Kessil A80. Cheers!

7/23/20- most recent FTS: Updated System Info: Tank: Fluval Spec V (5 gallon) Light: AI Prime LED ATO: dosing pump sending water on a timer. Sump/Skimmer/Dosing/all that other stuff: None yet (we will see how it does with water changes alone. I plan to do a 90% WC weekly). Feeding schedule...

Hello Everybody! I started this build for a few reasons..... 1. It was super fun!!!!!! 2. Space requirements 3. Higher nitrates for mushrooms and softies I definitely encourage everyone to try a build like this at least once! With a little patience and organizational skills it was actually a...

I recently set up a pico tank at the office! I am not new to the hobby but definitely new to a tiny tank. As it cycles and gets settled in I am wondering what livestock I should toss in and am open to suggestions. The two routes I'm thinking are refugium life...inverts, feather dusters, macro...

Hi guys i have a 75g but this will be a build for me and my two little ones who want to venture and have their own piece of the ocean. This aquarium holds roughly 14 gallon...i'll be picking up the tank this weekend but i'm in search of a decent light for the tank without spending too much money...
