lost one of my female sexies. ): maybe I was moving too quick. caught the other and threw her back in the mixed reef. I'm going to let this cycle for a bit longer, the serpent and snails are still in and doing fine!
Sorry to hear about your "sexy" but glad to hear your serpent is doing good . Just bought a 30 gallon jbj rl and thinking about adding one to my clan.:) How's the 8 gallon doing?

I'm sorry you lost one of your sexy ladies.

I really love what you're building and wish I could do the same (or at least the confidence to try).
thanks ):

I'm really excited to get some coral in there!

thanks :/

this happened to the 8 last night :) I'm not going to update or reveal any pictures until I'm done with all the upgrades and the new aquascape. :D stay tuned!

sorry I'm dragging my feet on this build. I'm in the process of re-working two of my other tanks as well. also, I'm still learning proper ways to keep this little tank stable- this is my first pico.

I have taken down my 2.6 fluval but still have my 3 gallon fluval spec. It's been a great tank. I'm thinking about upgrading the tank thought. Can't really add anymore corals, but the tank is so established I don't really want to:confused:

when I ran out of room I started getting rid of the most "low end" corals in the tank and started replacing them with really really nice ones. :)

long overdue update!

bought one more sexy shrimp to complete the trio, added three shrooms, a cobalt neotherm 25w heater, and a par38 bulb (it's kind of blue but oh well the ricordia look great under it!)

Very nice build. I've thought about throwing together a small tank to put on my desk, but we'll see. For now I have my BC29 and I have 3 sexy shrimp in it too. They love their mini maxi anemone but have started to roam freely throughout the tank.
