nanoreeferpdx Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've been away for a few years and now back in the reefing hobby with a pico tank. I wanted to keep it small for quick, easy maintenance since I don't have a lot of time (full time job and a little side business lol). I'll be keeping mostly softies and 1-2 lps corals. Equipment: 5 gal Fluval Chi Aqua clear hob filter (running carbon and chemiclean) Aquaillumination Prime Light 25w heater Maintenance: 1-2 gal water change weekly. Topoff as needed. Link to comment

MrNanoReef Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Awesome pico!!! Is that a red yuma? loving it, so bright. Need some photography tips, beautiful photos!!! Link to comment
nanoreeferpdx Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks! Those shots were taken with a Samsung nx300 with 18-55 Ois lens (and macro diopters); custom white balance is built in so it's easy to color correct. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Oh wow,that's a pretty cool set up you've got going on. Love the Zoa collection already !!! Ever thought about just putting the light on one of the side ? Regardless, I'm following along Link to comment

Ever thought about just putting the light on one of the side ? Regardless, I'm following along I thought about it, but then I realized that I wouldn't be able to keep the glass cover on. I love zoas and ricordea. I'm on the lookout for some orange and blue ricordea florida to add more color. I really want a red rock anemone too but I don't know if it will stay on the bottom or move around and kill everything. Link to comment
