Can you tell us what you used for the bulkhead on this? It seems like a normal bulkhead wouldn't make a good enough seal. Thanks!

I'm glad you posted this...cause I was seriously in Walmart last night and was going to pick up a vase to do this. I even had the g/f talked into going to Michaels to pick up the "tank".
Stand proud, cause she actually looked at the Pico and your display tank many times and liked it....which is super rare

My guess would be a uniseal rosebud. They are cheap and work very well on rounded tanks/containers like that.
Wow this is the first time catching this thread and i love the Vase idea. You did a great job. Also you other tank looks incredible!! Kudos!
That is one awesome vase pico. I never really understood how the vase pico works, but you are obviously doing it flawlessly.
Thanks. I saw a vase a while ago on youtube and thought, that's a cool little project with lots of room for creativity so I gave it a shot. Since I started the vase around last October, quite a few others have done similar setups with great results. Initially it's a challenge but if done correctly, you encounter space restrictions fairly quickly. Now that I've done it, I'm considering taking down the tank, getting tired of maintaining multiple tanks even though the only maintenance on this particular vase is cleaning the glass every once in a while, but I still have to feed it.
Thanks. I can't say that didn't cross my mind :bigsmile:That's an adorable little setup, ReefMP. I could see you putting several of these all across the bar.
So it was more of a challenge for youreself to see if you could do it and not really a longterm project. I am sure a vase would get boring once you ran out of space.
Sweet!
Hi! I know this is a super old thread but I’ve been wanting to do this exact thing for years. Do you have any new pointers since you built this? Anything you would do different? I was going to 3D print the overflow/return.Here's a little side project I started about 3 months ago to test out LEDs...some pics of my diy pico vase.
