So im new to the hobby after years of reading I decided to pull the trigger on a budget upgradeable pico setup. To dip my toes while I wait for my 20 gallon nuvo to ship near the end of this month.
I after re watching some upgradeable budget set ups I am going to go that route with this night stand tank.
5gal topfin colorglow tank, it has a back compartment like an AiO tank that is plenty wide enough to add some equipment in to make this a viable pico.
The water is still a little cloudy as it's day one but the star fish and emerald crab have been super busy and the crab is eating. The starfish has been on every rock
