My pico has been having some ups and downs but the past week I’ve been super happy with it. Just wanted to share some pictures.

nice! looks like its time for a bigger tank
 
2.5 gallons is a lot of water... don't you want to cut that in half, and give yourself a real challenge? 🤪

Hahah I knew it would be difficult but never thought I’d be checking parameters daily and buying 6 versas for this thing in order to keep it somewhat stable. It’s basically just become an obsession. And makes me look forward to going into work since it’s in my office. Definitely would not recommend but I don’t regret it. Was a crash course in learning saltwater
 
That is one packed out pico!
