mmm i need to fix that wall
well, this week i will serch for nice LR, and maybe the next week i will buy the AC70
i am going to order the ligths in august, and start cycling

looks like someone has big plans for the tiny tank

yes, i do

very cool.. are you thinking about painting the back wall? You should do that first

Nice little tank, also good idea upgrading the filter and light, most people do that haha.


And yes, I do reply fast

Haha, looks just like my piece of glass sitting on the counter! Race you to stock it!

Oooh a race!

Nice Tico! can't wait to see the results

i acept the race

i bought today the ViaAqua VA80

and steal some LR from my BC

Livestock plans?

well, i have to tell you something, i am taking down my BC 14 and
selling almost everything in local forum , the BC is fine but i am done with it,
just want to keep my favorites corals (the little ones) in this pico
so they will be rics, sarcopython, gorgonea and sinularia and maybe some zoas

maybe the next year i am going to start a bigger tank when i move to an apartment with my girlfriend, but for now this pico will be enough

cycling

this is all for now...

looks cool

lookin' good

looks great! Are you going to do anything else for filtration?

thanks!!
about filtration, i think the aquaclear 20 will be enough for now, i will think in a fuge and a maybe a evil's led add-on for current fixtures in the next months

thanks for looking

Those rics look awesome!!!! Remember that hammers like stinging other corals

Cool watching this tank progress.

Wow that little tank has blossomed! looks great!

thanks!!!
i have to move that xenia, it is to close of the hammer ... but i dont want xenias spare everywhere

Xenia are nice, just keep them isolated so they can't take over. Alone on the sand is a good idea haha.

i did littles changes
my brother gave me a little frack of brown monti like 3 weeks ago but its turning white, i was checking calcium (@410ppm), alk.(8.5 dkh) and nothing still the same, i thing there isn't enough light :sad:

Sorry to hear about your goby. What is this coral? Some kind of toadstool? Looks amazing?

thanks
i think so, i bought it from a friend in local forum
he said it is a "Sarcophyton" ... but i didnt see one so "hairy" lol

where your flatworms at? I dont see them in you pics...wondering what they look like..

flatworms in the glass marked in red
you can look in the other pics... there are flatworms anywhere lol

this post is really usefull
THE ULTIMATE ID THREAD! Before you post WHATS THIS? LOOK HERE!

lame yellow ones
best of luck with removing them.

ick i had a huge flatworm issue at one time in my 4ft but they slowly died back, never did any major damage but when you cant see the live rock because they are covering it...you know you have an issue, i now have a few wrasse that keep everything under control

I want to steal those rics now...

i just suction them time to time... but always come back
i tried flatworm exit too... but those bastards come back
about wrasse... in an 3 gal pico ...better not to think about it
so i have to live with them
