So I see alot of pico tanks lately and ALOT of 3g tanks to.

So I resurrected my 3 gallon out of the shed and set it up.

 

I have a dart frog vivarium and a dart frog tad/morph out tank right now so all the "stands" in the house are full. So I put it in my bathroom.

 

So far

3g picotope

K1 powerhead

50w heater

About 5-7 lbs of lr

10 lbs of black live sand

70w mh (crappy plusrite 14k bulb)

 

I won't be running a filter, and will possibly be running a skimmer 1-2 a week.

Will also add some cheoto for a little extra filtration.

 

The plans for the tank are sexy shrimp and sps, along with zoos and the lady wants a hammer so maybe the only lps in there.

Just started the tank 2 days ago

Pics!

 

 

Picked up light last night so this is before the light

Sounds like you did what I did, dug the ol' Picotope out and got it running again. Sweet deal.

 

 

Yep so far it's cost about $34 in beer.

Looking for a 20k 79w mh to, have stuff to trade, going cheap as possible.
