pico tank

Hey Guys! I am really new for reef tanks and trying to do my best. Only some weeks passed and I realize kind of eggs. There is a photo I add. ( The size of the bubbles(?) Like a water drop.) What are they? Could you somehow help me? Are they good or bad? Or even worse :( I have 2 clown fish...

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...

Hallo! I'm going to try documenting the process as I set up 4 different reef tanks at the sameish time. Apart from this Fluval Spec iii, I'm also setting up, and will do separate build threads for: - a Fluval Evo 13.5 (remember when they came out?) - a weird shaped ex-LFS 26 gallon "cube" - a...

I just saw this listed as a new product on the BRS website. Are these brand new or have they been out for a few months? I did not see anyone with photos of them when I searched the forums. These are more appealing to me because of the slightly larger size and layout but was hoping to see some...

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...

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 all, as someone who has been a lurker for a minute, thought I’d begin a build thread for my current project, a 5 gallon pico tank. It’s currently cycling, but here are some of the current details. Tank: Marine land 5 gallon - loved the height as I could put it on my desk and I would be...

Hello, I have a new pico tank (2 gallons) still cycling right now. However, I used Marco rock, and I really want that coralline algae look in my tank. Would it be a bad idea just to get some Purple Helix to put in my tank? I know I could go to my LFS but I really don't have one close by...

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...

Any recommendations for some hardy, beginner-friendly soft corals and invertebrates for my pico tank? I have a 5 gallon Marineland Portrait Tank with Ocean Direct Live Sand along with some Stax Rocks from Two Little Fishies, which are not live rocks.

Something to think about... Is it possible to get a Pico Reefs (or Pico Tanks) subsection in the Member's Aquarium Discussion forum? I see pico tanks as being distinct from nanos. My reading has defined a pico as up to 5g/5.5g and a nano as 6g up to 30g although I'm not sure if others view a...

Next office build! A PNW 40 oz “reef” system! Just running rodi water right now. Thinking of adding a few pieces of cycled rock, a little sand, and, this may be crazy, but a few pocillopora frags. I’ve always had good luck with pocillopora, so I thought it’s my best bet for an sps. SPS in such a...

Hello and welcome to my build thread for my 3.3L Pico Reef tank. I started the build in January 2022. The tank is a 3.3L AIO Acrylic tank that you build yourself. Its made by a company called PTank. The tank is lazer cut into acrylic and comes in flat pack form which you then have to cement...

I'm planning on starting a pico tank with some easy corals like zoas/mushrooms and maybe a RFA later (once I've mastered maintaining stability in this tank though), but I'd also like to start a copepod culture so I can maybe look into getting a dragonet for my other reef tank. Theres a ton of...

I recently setup a small 2.5 gal Pico tank in a re-purposed EcoQube C+ aquarium. Did some fun modifications to it and ended up with a reasonably effective proof of concept, but the fundamental design of the tank itself was a pain. After a month or so of dealing with its shortcomings, I decided...

Hey All, I’m setting up a pico tank, just a small about 6 gal or 7 gal, I don’t plan on adding corals really but figured just make it aesthetic looking and relaxing. The light I have with it is just a basic 2 tone light, white and blues, and only two functions just day and night. I plan just...

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...

Hi fellow saltines, After about 3 yrs I finally pulled the trigger on my first tank. It's a 5g so there isn't a heck of a lot of room. It's fish only (for now). I purchased only one piece of dry rock and would like ideas as to what I can do for the left side of the tank. Here are my thoughts...

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...

Hey all, I've begun my delve into Pico Reefs. I set this up as a kitchen accent about a week ago. The scape is sort of a three-way arch configuration, since this will be seen from three different angles. I'm using an 18W Kingbo light, I think it looks pretty clean. My only issue so far has...

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 all! Sorry I'm a little late on the build post, tank has been going for a little under 2 months now! I have been keeping freshwater tanks for about 15 years. After the unfortunate demise of a "freshwater" tophat blenny in my brackish experiment, RIP Penny the Blenny, I saw the light and...
