Fishyfan Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Im going to start a 1 gallon pico reef I have a millinium 2000 filter i am going to fill with live rock rubble. As for lighting i plan to have an 18 watt 6500k and maybe 9 watt actinic. What kind of corals could i keep under this amount of lighting? Test run: Link to comment
irishtexan Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 You can keep pretty much anything under that lighting. I dont know about SPS though. Maybe someone else can chime in on this. I started a 1G MiniBow. Check out my thread in the Member Aquariums. I have a 10W 50/50 Coralife bulb on mine and I have a small frogspawn, xenia, a little anemone, and GSP. You can keep zoo's, and shrooms too. A ton of other stuff too. Its just up to you! -texx Link to comment
kkyyllee Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i think ur filters about as big as ur tank , you could probably keep anything but sps Link to comment
ccaragol Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Actually, you could keep some easier SPS too but I wouldn't spend a lot of cash on it. You could keep some encrusting monti, though the colors might not be as great. You could also maybe get an orange monti cap or something. They'd be fine, but you're just not going to get the color you'd want with SPS so I wouldn't do it anyway. Also, why 6500? vs 10k or something? Link to comment
Fishyfan Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 i think ur filters about as big as ur tank , you could probably keep anything but sps That filter is small compared to the filter i was previously going to put on the tank lol I was originally going to put this filter on...

kkyyllee Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 ohh wow, im sure that would create some good flow Link to comment
UNAreefLion Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 im still in awe of the filter Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 i say trim the prop on the bigger filter or figure out some way to slow down the flow and use that one... you could make it into a really nice fuge, and it would add lots of volume to the tank... make sure you paint the back of that tank by the way befor you fill it nice tank by the way Link to comment
irishtexan Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 ^^Yeah I agree. You could even turn it into a little prop tank! Link to comment
Burks Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have the exact same tank but I'm using it for FW shrimp. Turning it into a pico reef is quite tempting! Please keep us updated. Link to comment
Fishyfan Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Making a hood for this tank seemed too complicated so i ditched this idea and switched to a 2.5 gallon... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...=0#entry1202248 Link to comment
