After about 4 years without a tank, I have decided to try my hands at a pico tank. The goal is to keep this simple - live rock, some filter floss, and water changes. We will see how that goes... Luckily, I have a bunch of equipment from my old tank. I had planned on getting either a Nanobox or a Kessil 160 - but saw too good of a deal on the full spectrum Celestial to pass up.

 

Equipment:

Cad Lights 4 gallon AIO

Reef Keeper Light

50w Neo Therm heater

Modified MP10

Maxspect Celestial 35w

Aqualifter w/RKL for ATO

 

Filtration:

3 lbs of live rock

Filter floss

 

Chemicals:

ESV Salt Mix

 

Inverts:

Emerald Crab

(2x) Spiny Star Astrea Snail

Nassarius Snail

 

Coral:

  • Tank - I covered the original return location and moved it up a few inches.

  • MP10 - I used my dremel to cut down the size of the impeller by about 1/3. This allows me to run it at around 40% instead of 10% in this tank.

Updated with new (poorly taken) photos and livestock. Taking this tank really slow - but will be adding a goby of some sort soon.
