Hi all!

 

So this is my first post to the forums and I'd like to share my 2 gallon pico I've had for the last month and a half. I got it for 80 bucks fully cycled with some zoas, a nepthea and peppermint shrimp already in it (I think it was a pretty good deal). This is the first saltwater tank I've had since I was a teenager and it's definitely the biggest challenge I've had so far but I really enjoy it.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying seeing how to create something beautiful in such a small space.

 

Lighting courtesy of the Kessil A150, the corals really love it.

 

Current stock:

 

-2x Zoanthid Spp. (Mostly greens but some orange ones too.)

-1x Branching Frogspawn

-1x Wall Frogspawn? (not 100 percent sure of the species, but it's so pretty.)

-1x Rasta Zoa frag

-1x Nepthea

-1x Yuma mushroom

-1x Candy cane

 

There's also some macro algae I left in there from when I got the tank

 

For livestock there are

 

3x Snails two of them were hitchhikers and there's an astrea snail too

1x Peppermint Shrimp

1x Sexy shrimp

1x Pom Pom Crab

1x Green clown Goby

1x tiny Flaming Prawn Goby

 

Anyway. Looking forward to getting to know you all :D.

That is a cool tank.I wanted to get one of those specs to setup as a mini reef but never found the money to do it.Welcome to the club and the members here are very comes smart when it comes to reefing.

I'll definitely try and post some pics of the prawn goby! It's so shy and I just added it recently. he hides under a little canopy of red macroalgae that is growing off of one of the live rocks. Really beautiful fish though and super tiny like maybe 3/4 of an inch long. How anyone manages to collect them in the wild is beyond me. I hear they only really get them from the Phillipine island of Cebu.
