Lifegard 4.1 pico tank

[danieyella]

Tank is still settling from the w/c. Did a *big* wc today because of the delays with getting the awc set back up, and because I pulled the aquachar coffin and some old stock sponging out and figured that was going to kick up a mess. Got a new media basket from in-tank and moved the aquachar into that, as well as a new packet of chemipure. Discovered that someone/thing tore the last one open so that was fun.

AWC is set back up and ready to run 1x a day again. Right now I'm running them out of random water jugs I bought on amazon

I think when we move and build the cabinet for this set up, I'll either try to figure out how to build my own containers, or spend the money on ato reservoirs to repurpose for this task. Something nicer and less sloppy.

Anyway, photo of the duo (I even cleaned the outside glass/acrylic on each one!)

Barnacle blenny.

Barnacle blenny.

Pods are getting out of control. I did a large WC myself in addition to the snap awc that happen, and I think I cleared out about half with that. It was at the point they were covering the walls in day.

All of the small blennys eat amphipods and copepods. You could even look at KPs site and go with a blenny native to Florida.

They appear to be out of all blennys

Neon cleaner goby? So cute, so little, would get lost in a big tank. But a small one, looks like a giant!

Shoot them an email. Sometimes they have them, but not listed. Also easy to collect them when they go get rock.

As a Floridian, I'm embarrassed to say this is the first fl ric in the tank

As an idahoan, I'm embarrassed to say this was the first type of mushroom in my own tank, lol. I put Florida in my tank first!!! Muahahaha

She's still kicking btw

Buddha started a bit of really crispy algae hair, I spent yesterday picking that off (it was super easy to pull out whatever it was). He also had some vermitid boogers, I did my best to remove them as well.

Was thinking the same thing when I seen recent pix yesterday. It's been cool to see this one evolve in such a short period of time. Excellent job @danieyella

It's mine as well. Something about the tank is so soothing

That's always been my visual focal draw and favorite part of the tank

AWESOME looking tank.

 

[danieyella]

Thanks guys, if only I could get my bigger tanks looking this good

 

[danieyella]

Been thinking about upgrading this tank after the move to like.... 15ish gallons

Everyone is slowly moving off Buddha's head.

You can kinda see my other mini
