nismo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 First off i'd just like to say hi and introduce myself. Im Nick. I went into work today to get some water (i work at a petstore) and since its been snowing like crazy and im stuck inside i decided to get another tank. I decided to go with a 2.5g. I stole some sand out of the display tank and threw on an AC20 thats been layin in the corner of my room. I have probably a good 3lbs or so of rock in there. I have no clue as to what im gonna be stocking with, probably just some Zoa's. The lighting currently over it is a 20in Coralife PC thats lying across my planted crested gecko terrarium and my 1g vase. So i have the new tank kind of sandwiched in between. After the holidays when i have some money im probaby going to go with a par30. Any ideas on stocking? I was thinking possibly doing a non-phosynthetic, theyre just so neat! Anyways its nice to meet you all and im sure ill be posting quite often! sorry no pics i dont have a camera im hoping for santa to bring me one Link to comment
pj86 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Welcome to NR. Hope you put pics up soon. Zoa's would be cool. Non-photosynthetic dedicated 2.5 pico has never been done before that I know of, due to difficulty and challenges with feeding and maintaining water quality. Most will say impossible for non-photsynthetics to thrive in pico's, I say possible but not in the current way we take care of pico's. Link to comment

nismo Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 the 2.5 the vase the mess! the 10 Zoa's Welcome to the 2.5G mafia! Thanks Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Fun! You've got some great stuff there. Good luck. I'd advise against NPS in a pico unless you're really good. How about a crab-topia? Link to comment

How about a crab-topia? Yea i have ruled out NPS, i'll save it for another day i suppose. A crabtopia would be interesting haha. Would keeping a monkey (saron) shrimp work? I dont know too much about them so i'll have to read up, but we just got a pair in at work and they're pretty sweet. Maybe a pom-pom crab those are always fun Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've never heard of a saron shrimp (also called marble shrimp). Just looked it up. Pretty! From what I gather, they are considered generally reef safe, but are known to bother zoanthids and palys. They look kinda like sexy shrimp. Link to comment
nismo Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Sadly no. I havent been able to do anything with this because i lost my job (for being sick and having to go home). So now the money i have left is going towards my car payment and the dog. I did have quite a few corals in my vase that i took out and traded for store credit so i could afford water for my 10 gal. So basically i wont have money until i have a new job, and who knows when that will be. I'm really bummed Link to comment
