Hi everyone :), this is my stab at a 2.5 Pico.

 

I will be using the following items:

 

2.5 Gallon AGA

Coralife Digital Thermometer

2x9 watt 9" Coralife PC fixture

AC 20

Possibly a 50 watt heater for the winter

3 Pounds of LR

No Sand

 

Livestock:

 

2 Pom-Pom Crabs

Possibly a Teenie-Tiny 1" Long Derasa Clam at my LFS

Various Softies

 

 

I'll be posting pics soon ;o

 

I need to borrow my friend's camera :P

I have a 55 Gallon if it grows too quickly. And, there is enough light for a Derasa.

 

UPDATE: I just ordered a 2x9 watt PC light fixture, heater, and thermometer from Big Al's. Should be here in a few days.

I picked up my lighting fixture from the UPS Store today.

 

Now I can't get it onto the tank without the glass cover, which means I can't use my HOB...

 

Help???

 

Light is a 9" 2x9 watt by Coralife. HOB is an AC20.

what I did was to use a table saw to cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the top of the tank. it's the same dimensions as a glass top, but is 2" narrower to fit the HOB.

Word of advice, do not put the clam in the tank. It may look as if its doing fine for a few months, but really slowly starving. Just my $.02

Some advice on the glass top. If you want to use it they are very easy to cut with a diamond dremel bit. I cut mine for the contest and had no problems until I stepped on one. But I had a spare.

Its good enough for Derasas.

 

Also, baby clams aren't exactly dependant on Photosynthesis.

 

i was told by multiple people that clams are almost completely photosynthetic until they are at least 3". i think a deresa would be fine anyway under 18W of pc at less than 8" away. worst case scenario: the clam starts looking crappy and you have to put it in your 55. what do you have to lose?

Yuo have that COMPLETLY backwards.

Snoop's right, you have it backwards - the problem is the feeding required by baby clams unless you feed them outside the tank in a bowl or something is going to cause major water quality issues with stock filtration on a 2.5g tank.
