Have you guys seen these tiny tanks!? I got the chance to look at them this past weekend at Reef-A-Palooza Orlando and they bring a whole new definition to pico tanks!

Check out this video by @Reef Builders



And this video by @KingTideCorals



I love the way these little micro tanks are set up. What do you guys think? What would you put in yours? I'm thinking a sexy shrimp maybe and a rfa or something small. I've seen them with duncans and mushrooms.

Also, would you guys be interested in a group buy for these little tanks through R2R?

Why not just keep the animals in a bag like the good old days.

Love pico tanks, but wish they made these AIO. An external sump makes it more expensive and prone to leaks with the plumbing/extra seams with no real benefit at this size.

If I wasn’t in the middle of a 310 gallon build that’s taking all my money currently plus maintaining my 75g, I would have bought one of these already for the kitchen counter. Now if a group-by comes into play… I can definitely see myself dipping into my 310g build funds to impulse buy it

Just purchased one with ato and heater control looking forward to the challenge but I suppose water changes will be quick and easy I plan on using natures ocean nutri sea water since 2.2 gallons only cost 15 dollars plus tax and that should be able to do a good number of water changes when needed and old tank syndrome should never be a problem because it will be easy to remove the livestock to do a complete cleaning when necessary.

Hey Stoney it’s less than a half gallon I do not think a leak would be much of an issue plus I believe it will be easier to clean than an all in one.
