Got a PICO reef? Show it off here!

[Heliarc19]

2.5 gallon it’s very simple and sits on the kitchen counter and I really enjoy having it, simple water changes every week or two. I drain 100% and wipe down then refill. I have a small piece of chaeto and carbon bag in the back and need to add more softies.

In the grow out stage of my 5 gallon

Starting a pico on my work desk. It’s a Fluval Spec III. Upgraded the return pump with a Rio Plus 90. Light is a ABI 12w Tuna Blue mounted on a WYZM 15” adjustable bulb holder. Heater is a 25w Aqua Clear. I’m in the process of gluing sone rocks together to form a nice central structure. Can’t wait to start cycling it.

I have a build thread but here recent pics from there, I need to use a camera! These pics are horrible when looking at some other pics in the thread. I think Brandon hates me for switching from a jar to a cube!

Rock scape complete. Hopefully the glue holds it all together.

Oh yeah i saw your thread, that is a cool tank. How does the cleaner shrimp do in there? He looks good

 

[Sipec]

Also what are the dimensions? You should check out this fish too, i think it would look cool in there

Thanks. Tank is 5 1/2 inches cubed. The shrimp has been in there for 16 months. He eats really well and has molted several times, but I think it is to small for him. I got him from Petco so he is tough. If I had it to do over I think I'd hold out for Sexy shrimp. Thanks for the tip but I don't think I'll get a fish. Too much waste for the small water volume. Planning a upgrade though so maybe in the future.

Yeah, makes sense about the fish. My cleaner shrimp molts about once a month

Starting a 2.6 gallon Pico. Already finished cycling and have added a clean up crew. Zoa's on order and will be here next week.

 

[BMan]

Added some zoas. I think I’m going to stick to zoas exclusively.
