Tomtom's 6.2gal tank

[tomtom2245]

Just realized I never started anything for my little pico tank. It started out somewhere around a year ago as an AIO 3.5gal and I have since moved it up to a nice little 6.2gal AIO I picked up at Petco. I have an Eheim Jager heater, Rio 180 return pump, and an AI Prime light. Currently the stock is a few different frogspawn frags, some mushrooms, and 3 green and purple maxi minis along with a very small pair of locally bred ocellaris clowns. I have a RKL controlling everything but the ATO which is managed by a float switch and BRS dosing pump currently running off of my Apex on my 20gal. Future plans are to get a PM1 and EB4 so the whole thing is Apex controlled. Now for some pics!

The original 3.5gal

And now the 6.2gal

That would never fly with my wife! She has to have it absolutely pitch black in the bedroom if possible.

A couple more pics, one of the new frogspawn I got that has a mix of green and pinkish tips and the maxi mini garden I'm starting for propagation purposes. There are currently four green and purple ones from when I split up one a few weeks ago. I have a blood red coming on Tuesday that will be added in here as well.

Updated FTS now that my frogspawn area is growing and getting some more variety.

That looks amazing. Can't believe it's only 6g looks like 20 lol

Really nice looking tank. Awesome job.

Beautiful tank, looks much larger than a 6 gal, frogspawn look brilliant too.

 

[mmw64]

Love them both!

 

[tomtom2245]

Thanks guys! It does look so much bigger than a 6gal. The filter chamber in the back is a good size as well. Now I'm just working to fill in the right side with some different maxi mini nems. Still undecided about whether or not I'm going to get some sexy shrimp.

Awesome!

 

[tomtom2245]

I'll have to keep an eye on this. Apparently one of my clowns has found himself a new comfy bed.

 

[tomtom2245]

Added another maxi and this one is mottled green color but he's massive! Probably going to let it settle for a few weeks and then split him up! Also picked up a pair of sexy shrimp.
