Hey all!
Im researching more and more for a new 5 gal pico, because its fun to do small tanks lol
My question for you guys: what, if any, would be your dream pico. What would it have for equipment, what tank, filtration media, inhabitants?
Im thinking a 5 gal, with an undecided amount of soft coral, an undecided invert (or a few), hob filter with chemipure (elite or blue), and a cheapo light from marine depot thats sitting around from my qt. Notice i didnt list an ATO. Ive never ran ATO for any of my tanks, I manually top off each day. I do not keep sps but ive never had an issue with salinity swings and coral being affected.
As far as inverts, a few snails for cleaners but I also want something thats going to be out and about in the light and shrimp (while cute) are hit and miss with that. What are your favorite pico inhabitants? *Trying to avoid fish if I can.
