Got a PICO reef? Show it off here!

[Greg's 6.6 Pico]

This is my petco 6.25 arc or bookshelf depending on what store you buy it from. With the upgraded filtration we're looking at 6.6 gallons. It's slowly becoming sps dominated.

Here's my zoa 2 gallon ice tea container. .5 sump underneath with 180gph return pump, heater, rock rubble, and filter sock. Weekly wc of a gallon or less.

Fluval evo 5
I use a marina mini heater, been working great so far, and I use a jebao tw 10 wave maker. I didn't really need one until I got the green blue tip torch up at the top, it wasn't liking the flow, so I added the wave maker and found out it was being a little diva and wanted more flow than anything else in my take. And I had to cover it because even on the lowest setting, it was blowing everything al over he place. I think My tank if full. Now I'm just patiently waiting for some of the corals to grow and fill the tank up nicely.

First post here as well. My 1.5 gallon total volume Pico with 1 gallon display. The seahorse was just in it temporarily while I finished setting up it's tank.

Looking to purchase one for my husband's office desk. What should I get in the 3 to 5 gallon range, all inclusive?

What do u guys use for filtration on a 2.5g standard. I’m think an aquaclear 50 because that is around the largest that will fit. Thoughts? Any equipment help is nice

Jumping on the tank-in-a-jar band wagon, I thought I would play around.

I am about 650 km from home for the next six month (travelling back and forth for a few days here and there). I am in a small city, deep in farm and cottage country, so the closest LFS is about two hours away. I found the jar locally, then transported everything else on a (just under) 12 hour journey across the province. Five days ago, I put 15 lbs of live rock in a small buck, with enough water to fill the jar. A small container of sand, the light, bubbler, some supplies and 6 frags (only 5 made it, but the monti plate was looking rough to begin with). After 4 hours on a train a three hour layover, plus over 4 hours on bus, everything transported just fine.

The buttons adapted easily and were nice and full by the first light cycle, two days after setting it up. The Xenia started pulsing the next day, just as the GSP started coming out. My phone camera does not pick up the GSP luminescence very well, and really, I should have glued it down a little lower. The candycanes were purchased from a local reefer right before I left home, and they did not look as full and fleshy as they do now. Every day they seem to look better and better. I would however, like to move them up on the rocks (but the dollar store superglue I have takes 5 minutes to harden, unlike the brand-name stuff which hardens in seconds under water). There are two red mushrooms as well (at the very bottom, hard to see), and they are starting to look more full, although I might try to move them 'out' more...

The light I designed myself for my first 20 gallon frag tank, it was an Aliexpress E27 reef special, but only had one warmness of white and one spectrum of blue, so I ripped the design apart and made it more reef friendly. The problem with it on the frag tank was the coverage; the lenses did not provide enough spread. But, it is perfect for a 8" diameter reef-jar

I set up a 3 gallon MarineLand pico in my husband's office last week. It is housing the cutest little frogfish and one snail. Fake corals for decor until we upgrade the light. And I have a FishKam set up so we can check on him.

This is the six gallon that I began with years ago. I am going to tr y something different and go all SPS this time. I have drilled the tank, added the overflow, and built a ten gallon sump/frag tank. Cant wait to get some water in this thing!

Awesome pico tanks! At this time we're not going to start a new forum for just pico tanks but we're going to keep them in the nano forum. Thanks and please keep updating your pico threads!

Some crazy cool picos in here!

Fluval Evo 5... I have one on my desk at work. Love it... it's the perfect size to sit widthwise and act like a privacy screen.

My latest picos... a 5.6G Fluval Edge that's serving as grow out for my fancy rose BTAs (don't want to risk sudden deaths for these in my DT), and a 5G Marineland tall that I turned into my pest tank...full of all sorts of beautiful by unwanted things.

Plus, a shot of my line up...

You should start a thread . Would love to know more about your tank
