White Fluval Spec V Mixed Pico Reef

[jefra]

Hello!

Wanted to show off my most recent project, a Fluval Spec V mixed reef. It's still a work in progress, but so far I'm pretty thrilled by how well it performs given the small footprint.

Livestock

Corals

• Dual head pink and green pocillopora
• Temperamental trachyphyllia
• Rescued monti cap on the mend
• Pink tipped frogspawn
• Hammer coral
• Assorted palys and zoos

Inverts & Macroalgae

• Cerith snail x3
• Nerite snail x2
• Virgin nerite snail x2
• Pincushion urchin
• Pacific Halymenia macro algae
• Sone elusive feather dusters on the live rock

Other

• Blood Orange Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus x Amphiprion ocellaris hybrid)
• Rainbow Bulb-tipped Anemone

(to be rehomed together to my 45 when they outgrow the pico!)​

• Pukani/Manado live rock from my main tank
• 8 lbs black aragonite live sand

​

Equipment

• Cobalt Aquatics MJ1200 return pump
• Innovative Marine LED 18 watt (x3 10K and x3 456 nm) - perfectly fits in the holding clamp for the stock light
• Stock pump as powerhead temporarily
  
• Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm Heater, 25W
• Innovative Marine ATO
• Purigen
• ChemiPure Blue Nano

Future plans are to add a better powerhead and rework the aquascape a bit. I want to make the Euphyllia area more vertical so some frags can fill in the space underneath. Will post progress pics.

Im about to tear done a Spec the wife has at her office and turn it into a pico, would you happen to have a pick of how the replacement pump fits in the stock location?
