wannenmacher Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I saw this vase at wallmart and thought that would make a awesome pico reef. Then i stumbled upon the pico contest so i bought it. So for not having a pico for a couple years now im back in. I still need to a couple things to the tank before i can get it wet, but it should be cycling by the middle of next week. I will post pics when i get my sd card to work on my phone. tank- 2g cylinder vase light-2 epistar led bulbs fixture-metal bowl supported by conduit.(still need to make) filtration-1g Fuge with cheato with maxi-jet 400 return. heater- i will buy one but for now i dont need one its warm enough as it is. maintenance-Feed heavily before my weekly 100% WC CUC-a few extra dwarf cerith snails i got from reefcleaners LR-i have a few pounds cycling in a bucket with an airstone LS- have some on hand need to wash. Stocking will most likely be mostly softies and 1 or 2 lps and some sexy shrimp. Link to comment
wannenmacher Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 So after some thinking i decided to make things interesting and make a overflowing pico. After i bowrow my freinds drill we will be good to go. and some pics Link to comment
wannenmacher Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 The lines in the vase are glass clarity issues i guess, but i cant see them with IRL so i dosent bother me Link to comment
solefald Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ha. I'm sitting here shopping for the same kind of a vase to buld a planted pico with the same damn overflow you are showing here. this is crazy! anyway. I found a cool set at IKEA for $15 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products...0559/#/80175091 this is going to be a fresh water planted, so i dont need any flow. was going to use AqualiFter pump to overflow the top vase from the bottom one!

wannenmacher Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I dont think the aqua lifter will make it overflow all around the sides you need a stroger pump to break the surface tension. and i wish i had an ikea around me i had to buy mine from wallmart. Link to comment
wannenmacher Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 So i was drilling my tank for the return piping and the damn thing shattered. So i have to go buy a new tank so off to wall mart Link to comment
