2.7g Pico Pest Tank Office Build

[DracoKat]

@brett_schn - the rectangle 2.5g tank? Yes, it will on the long side. Not sure if it'll fit on the shorter side. It's a great filter and gives enough flow where I feel a powerhead isn't needed which saves space inside the tank.

I ordered a fountain submersible light to put inside the filter to help grow the chaetos. I'll get the light in tomorrow or so.

Actually- measure the height of that tank- I didn't think about the height. I will measure the filter and will tell you for sure if it will fit

Filter is 6.5" high and 7" wide total. It'll fit!

 

[brett_schn]

Is that including the thing that draws water up to the top?

 

[DracoKat]

I trimmed mine back, you can cut it to fit better

Acclimating to my pico as I type this

Looking good and love the shrimp! We need an update!

 

[DracoKat]

@revhtree not much to update on this one. Everything is doing well, shrimps are happily swaying their tiny lil bods. I haven't done much other than water changes

I rearranged my rocks slightly to get it away from the front glass

My palys are turning brown. Trying to figure out why and bring some color back

 

[DracoKat]

And my sexys

Such a great tank. Love the sexy shrimp.


You might need some more light if the plays are browning.

I'll lower the Par38 bulb and see if it helps.

Came back from the weekend and the paly's colored up more. adjusting the light helped

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Good to hear! I've never seen specs or par readings on those.

 

[DracoKat]

@saltyfilmfolks it's a great light. I tried some digi's (or stylo, not sure which one) and it bleached out quickly. not sure if the light is strong enough for SPS, or vice versa. Softies love it though
