Started a 3.5 gallon pico!

Stuartmercer · Jul 19, 2019

Hello, it's being a while. I know I said I would work on my other project but I wasn't willing to spend another 100- 200 dollars on a light for this as I am still young and need to save for school. Anyways, yesterday I bought a 3.5-gallon betta tank, bought a heater, and am reusing one of my extra powerheads and my fluorescent lighting systems. Since I'm not planning on having a fish I'm not including a filter. This pico is hopefully going to be SPS dominated tank. Today I added a frag of my Kenya tree and added it into my pico. So far it's doing great. I will keep you all updated as I add corals and maybe a nano goby. please tell me what sps I should keep. I will also upload pictures later

Okay here are the pictures of my set up this far. I saw a nano goby at my LFS so I have decided to get it. Pictures of that in a couple days. I'm thinking a green Slimer as my first sps, gotta do the OG corals.

Added my first coral and decided to add a blenny to my tank. It's a green Acro with a very small spinyhead blenny. I will add a frag of birdsnest later in the week

I love my neon Birdsnest and it has don't great so far in my tank. Question is what price point are you looking at? I'm dying to try WWC's heartbreaker, but don't know if I'm willing to risk it. [emoji1787]

Here's an auction for it that I'm watching. We'll see how that goes. Haha
