andrewkw Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Sad to hear. All the pico's I've been following since I started are pretty much done. Link to comment
jojoe972 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 This was an awesome tank.... Sorry to hear. I need to go back and read everything. I am starting a pico at work! Link to comment
Siejuban Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Done taking 13 exams in the past 3 weeks and a half, now I get a a day to mess around with the aquariums. Then back to studying Here is a picture of the clam, it has color up quite a bit. It even has started to get an emerald color around the edges. I'm really thinking in what direction I want to take this pico, I really want to create a really good looking SPS pico. Will see... Is clam doing okay in a pico? I just set up my 3 gal Picotope, want to add a clam in a later time, but considering if the tank is too small to keep a clam. Link to comment
pj86 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 what kind of micro food? what did you use? i fed some mysis today and it seemed to be happy. phytofeast, rotifeast, oyster feast. You would need to do daily water changes. It was a hard animal to keep, and if not feed it will decline rapidly in a month or two. Is clam doing okay in a pico? I just set up my 3 gal Picotope, want to add a clam in a later time, but considering if the tank is too small to keep a clam. The clam is doing great, I have moved it to the nano. The clam seemed to be doing great in the pico, I was doing automatic water changes every day. Anyone interested in buying pico jars made by me...lol. Err I really don't want to sell this tank.

jgpico Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hey pj I was just wondering if you had any tips or tricks for me about keeping a sea cucumber. If I remember correctly you had a yellow one in your 3 is that right? I want one in my 30 once its running and have never kept a sea cucmber. Link to comment
pj86 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hey pj I was just wondering if you had any tips or tricks for me about keeping a sea cucumber. If I remember correctly you had a yellow one in your 3 is that right? I want one in my 30 once its running and have never kept a sea cucmber. The yellow sea cucumber always seemed very reclusive and would usually stay at the opening of caves. They were always bothered by larger crustaceans and if weak they would get eaten. Always pick one that is large, I have seen healthy ones be in the range of 2-3 inches. Flow seems to be key as well as a variety of micro food. Luckily they move around to find the ideal place.

The 2 aqualifters were use for water changes: 1 handled the syphoning, 1 handled the saltwater, airpump was for the automatic feeder, and the wine chiller was to keep the food cold. The other 2 aqualifters were used for top off and surface skimming. Link to comment

Clarinet_Reefer Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This and El Fab's pico are true testaments to how you can create and sustain a little piece of the ocean anywhere. I vote for a rebuild! Link to comment
