I thought that I better do an update on my tank(s) The 3ga is doing better than ever I just cleaned it so i thought I should take some pictures!!! The GSP are not open in these pictures but it is still doing great! I have sooo much coral in this tank I was thinking about upgrading to a 7ga DIY and use this same light.

 

Here are some zoas that I got at the LFS I do not know what kind though...

Wow, your salt hobby is growing fast and you are going to need to start fragging all those Zoas soon!

 

Looks good!

 

I'll try to get you final pics and inventory of everything on your Zoa wish list this weekend and shoot you a total for what you have. Things have grown like crazy since my vacation and I have ignored the tanks other than feeding and daily dosing since I got back. Maybe this weekend I will catch up.

it does look a little crowded but hey it is a 3gal ...can we see a pic of the tank and light .

I will take one with my camera (easier to use) but it does take lower quality pictures... Give me about 10 min..

I've got the same fan I love it. Keeps the temp just right. If you don't mind me asking where are you located. I've never seen anyone else with that fan are you a fellow canuck? The tank is looking really good too many picos don't have sufficient lighting. It makes them look so much more intense.

Anyone?

 

The tank is doing good I will take some pictures soon, I am getting a bunch of new coral and I need to frag some of those zoas that are right in the middle and get rid of them so I have space for a couple more things in this little tank...

Get some more color. Thats what I learnt this time I want more color. It's small so you can fill it with nicer stuff because you only need frags of everything. Too much brown for me

Today I was thinking about adding a couple SPS to my tank. If you look at the picture below there are 2 circles, I want to put a green or pink birds nest in the left circle and a green or orange monti cap. on the right. What do you all think?

Three weeks ago,I took everything out of a 2 1/2 gal bowfront when the mantis I kept in there became MIA several months ago. I got a 3 gal pico deco tank with lighting and pump. I added a little heater from Walmart. I moved 5 lbs of LR and the sand from the mantis tank plus some live aragonits. In it I have blue mushrooms, green mushrooms, a kenya tree, Xenia, flower anemone, 2 sexy shrimp, hermits, snails, a yellow katy clown goby and a neon goby. Also a flame scallop. Also a couple of very small pieces of staghorn coral from my larger tank. It is up near the top to take advantage of the light. Everything is doing wonderful, thus far. I am feeding tiny amts of Reef Chili 2x daily for the scallop, until I get some live phyto from a club member. It is on my kitchen counter and I am enjoying it immensly. :D Water changes and top offs are a breeze. A turkey baster works wonders!!

I've got the same fan I love it. Keeps the temp just right. If you don't mind me asking where are you located. I've never seen anyone else with that fan are you a fellow canuck?

I have 3 of these fans. I got mine at Walgreens here in Jackson TN

Clint, I gotta say I am WAY impressed with your Pico....130 Watts on 3 gallons....WOW!!!!

 

Mine is a lot slower in progress, and MUCH more humble, but I love it....you should get a little barred goby like mine....he is so very cool....comes out and feeds like a little wildman daily, on frozen Cyclopeez....

 

Your green zoas are what I have, and was told they are "Emerald Jades". I dunno if that's a real name or not, but I'm happy with it.

 

Tanks for chiming in on my humble little tank thread, and I LOVE your blue, and blue/purple zoas....they are sweet.

Thanks!! I have worked hard to get this tank where it is! I really do not want to add a fish as I do not want to disrupt the equillibrium that I have going in this tank! I was thinking maybe a sexy shrimp or two would be cool! I do loke your little tank I will be following that thread. I am getting ready to make a couple frags of the blues if you are interested... I will ship. I did just make 10 frags of the green implosion that will be ready in a few weeks.

I made up 10 frags of the green implosion, and they are all doing good!! I will post some pictures of them in a wile. I am going to make a bunch of frags of the purple rimmed blue zoanthids either tonight or tomorrow.
