Just wanted to add some pictures of my (very full) 2.5 gallon pico tank. Currently no fish due to a disease outbreak so leaving it fishless for 60 days. Latest addition was an acro which for me is the ultimate challenge and so far it’s doing well! Also I think my torch is starting to split

This is one of the coolest nanos around for sure. Great polyp extension and I love how fat those krypto heads are!

Thank you! I actually cut most of the skeleton off to glue it there and make room for other corals. It started growing way faster after I did that for some reason

Awesome, everything looks really full and healthy. Do you spot or broadcast feed?
 
What fish do you usually keep in a tank this small?

I try to spot feed to keep phosphates low but it definitely flies around the tank after I turn the pumps back on

Really can only do small gobies. Currently no fish but I’m planning on adding a white cap with a pistol shrimp next. Before I had a disease outbreak I had really good luck with a clown goby m, Dracula goby, and white cap goby
