Needed a desk tank so got this pico tank. The challenge is on keeping this goniapora alive. Started out with this piece of rock that was in my sump for 1 month. Will be doing 100% water changes with water from my display tank weekly, also adding 2 drops of all for reef per day.

Day 3 the Goni is still happy

I always love seeing what people do with these small tanks!
 
You beat me! Mines 1.1 g overall
I keep a Goni! Load it up with a little sand and small clean up crew. Mine barely needs any cleaning ever
 
Do you have a lid or ato? A tank this size, even a turkey baster of water will throw off the salinity into danger zones. Evap is something that can also really affect these small tanks. I found a lid was a huge help in stabilizing salinity

Yes I 3d printed a back lid and a front frame that I glued in a piece of glass from the underside. I totally agree that these small tanks need lids 100%. I did not add any top off water in a weeks time and the water lvl slightly lowered.
