pico reef

Hey everyone, To start, I am a total beginner. I saw someone building a pico reef jar on Instagram and thought it looked incredible — minimal, bizarre, a little risky, and fascinating. I've never had any saltwater tanks before (only a few easy freshwater ones), but after some more inspiration...

I have a Mocha Storm clownfish that lost her mate a while ago and everytime I try to add a new clownfish into that tank she kills it or bullies it to hide in the rocks and gets food aggressive with them, I have tried all I can find about how to stop them doing that including the seperated in...

Im looking to add more colors of zoas and maybe another type of coral to my 7 month old 2.5 pico, I would like something with a vibrant red color, do any of you have recommendations for it?

What a journey this has been so far! My most challenging project, but also my most successful (so far). I originally bought the tank kit to house a Bettafish that I was gifted. The poor guy was in a tiny bowl and looked miserable. He lived in here for just over two years. After he died, I...

Introduction Hello! As the title suggests, this is my first reef tank. I'll use this post primarily to document the aquarium's progress over time. I'll share what I'm doing and learning, hoping it might help someone along the way. I studied aquaculture, and I already have a densely planted...

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...

Hi everyone! It's a pleasure to be able to share my very first salty adventure here on R2R! On March 23, the journey began when I took an old 15-liter tank from the depths of mycellar and placed it next to the desk where I work. The target of this aquarium is to understand how sustainable a...

I have a 13.5 that's been running for a year, now I'm starting up a 5-gal pico reef. No solid plans on stocking it yet, would love any input. Not planning on adding a fish, just as much diversity in coral/ inverts as I can. Planning to add a sand bed, and use water, live rock, and filter media...

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...

Hey Reefers, Just started up a new pico build with the Reef Casa Flat 6 that was designed up in Canada by Fragbox! The ultra shallow lagoon style should make for a nice unique desktop tank. Equipment List: Tank - Flat 6 from www.reefcasa.com Lighting - AI Prime HD16 Return - Reef Casa Pump...

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?

What would be an ideal second tank? I am struggling on going for a the frag tank, pico reef, or a bigger upgrade. I really like the lagoon open top tanks from reef casa, it is an AIO style, going for their pico reef with a small scape and invert only. Or a frag tank dedicated to frags and...

Hey guys, Can you please help me ID? I have a picotank with sexyrimp and ricordea s and just found this guy :) So... what and who is this guy? Please help me :) The video mostly includes its but (i think) you also see him pooping at the end Thanks!

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 everyone, After spending the last 12 months researching reef tanks on and off, I've decided to dive in and get my toes wet as I just can't tide over the obsession any longer. Within the next 12-18 months I am planning on getting a Cade 500 (30 gallon with sump), so this Pico tank needs to...

I have a Waterbox 100.3 that is at the 1.5 year mark and is moving along nicely. As a consequence of 2 reefs, I had some extra stuff that got me thinking about a pico. I have a 5 gallon tank that used to be my ato and some nice frags that I can't seem to sell. So I started busting up some rock...

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...

Hi my name is Aiden and I have a problem… just kidding, sort of. Hello everyone! To preface I have tried and tried to get out of the hobby a couple times now but I guess I just can’t fight it. I’m meant to glue live animals to rocks and burn money on salt. I’m here to learn from and share my...

After not having had a tank of my own in over a year, when I saw a little glass AIO sitting on a table in a thrift shop I decided I would give a small tank another shot. After a quick leaktest and a clean up, I started work on my aquascape. Using some live rock from a friend's tank I put...

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...

Hello everyone! Sorry my english is bad. This post is about my Nano reef tank, without sump and without skimmer. My old 6,6gall nano tank was so densely planted with coral that I decided to move to a larger tank. Dimensions of the new aquarium 60см*30см*35см. OPTIWHITE glass 8 mm thick...
