Hey everyone, Since i've shown my 22 gallon nano tank I thought id show my 7 Gal mixed pico tank. So far I’ve been in the hobby for 9 months now and since then I’ve started about four different tanks. 3 display tanks and 1 frag tank for selling some coral while in college to fund my coral addiction!(Ill include a photo of it and some of the coral I sell) This tank is one of my more proud moment tanks as its a 7 gal with two fishes (1 Clown 1 Tail spot blenny). Im currently able to grow acro and sps without any issues and I have a Fat head dendro that I feed once a week. People claim that the smaller the tank the more difficult it is to stabilize but I found it quite the opposite. I feed my corals once every three days with fresh 13 blend Phytoplankton from a local in my area. I do water changes every 3 weeks and I dose Tropic marin all for reef to keep my parameters in check. I test every so often not as much as I should. But i have great polyp extension on my acros and lps so if everything is happy so am I. I do plan to add more colors but as for right now this is my night light so I don’t really mind the greens as all corals are pretty in the end.
