metrokat Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 My little Pico was retired July 7, 2012, after being up and running for 9 months. I consolidated all its livestock into the fuge I installed. FTS Nov 2, 11 Livestock Orange Bam Bam Green Leopard Paly Hidden Cup Corals HH Bi-Valves Spaghetti Worm Bristle Worms Red Titan Macro Ulva Macro Mangrove sprout Red Flame Algae Halimeda 5 dwarf ceriths Stomatella Micro Hermit Crab Blasto Merletti Plutonium Zoa Tubbs Blue Zoa Acans Ked Reds Alright, so I'm in! The Unofficial Walmart Pico Contest has begun. I had to carefully think out my plan for this 2 gallon Tom Deco Kit. Of course that is a polar opposite to the impulse with which I went online and bought the thing. As PBJelly says, now I'm a n00b with TWO tanks. Sheesh. I finally put in some effort on this today and did a LOT of work and set it up. I'm travelling and did not want to miss the contest entry date. I'm done for now but wanted to share some pictures. I think the 'scape could grow on me. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 oOoOo!! .... Love the choice in rock! Maybe add another one half of that one's size, also. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 heh, you know me and 'scapes. I'm not done yet. No doubt! Link to comment
pbjelly Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's the Pretty in Pink Pico! Very elegant... (I think we need to practice 'Safe Reefing' from now on - they're propagating like bunnies ) Link to comment
masternano Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nice starts im looking for lr that looks like,that my lfs dont sell anything good Link to comment
FlCandy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Wow I hope you didn't break a sweat setting that beast up! I love the pink matt under it very HOT! Also so appropriate for Breast Cancer Month. Looking forward to see these little monsters grow! Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 The beast is getting set up in my room hence the pink overload. Wow it was tough to set up. Clearly I'm only halfway through. @masternano: this is actually dry rock, and is a "real" tonga branch. It weighs one pound and I'm not sure if I will use it. If I don't I'll PM you. @pbjelly: Safe Reefkeeping is not trying to steal those beautiful red/fuchsia mushrooms you just got! Link to comment

castiel Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The contest should have rules about how much time you can spend on your tank. This dedication is ridiculous. Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 scape looks like ####. And that is why the scape is showing you the bird D. Take another look. ROFL. The contest should have rules about how much time you can spend on your tank. This dedication is ridiculous. Seriously. I need to be pulled away from the empty box with the dry tonga branch.

gena Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Are you planning to leave the pink placemat underneath the tank? If not, you should paint the back of the tank pink! That will set your tank apart from the rest. You could go with a pink theme. That's what I would do, anyways. It would be so cute Link to comment
tinkerer Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 SWEET! another cool kat tank scape coming to fruition. Link to comment

Builder Anthony Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ya a one color tank would be cool.Theres enough pink stuff out there.Pink sponges.....theres a pink yuma for sale in livestock right now.Pink mini maxis would be cool.Birdsnest.Pink coraline.I would never wear a pink shirt but corals that are pink are a exception i would allow in my tank.

masternano Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Tonga never seen them in lfs and I still want ur hermit crabs,lol ill pm u my info soon Im just waiting to get new bank card Link to comment
yoshii Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Wish neon gobies came in pink... Well, if you did get one, it would stand out! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 one color theme tank is awesome. I would probably do a blue tank in the future pink theme would work well with a black background...pr a dark blue one...or actually im not sure how pink will stand out most but black sounds about right. if you do a pink background, pink animals will just blend in =/ I kinda liked the first tonga configuration because 70% of the second one is going to be buried in sand...so you wont see much of the rock unless you place it on top of the sand... Anyway pink zoa and palys are good choices. zoas are good if you are not keeping sexy shrimp. I'll think of other suggestions later Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 who says I'm getting sand.....? And no I'm not doing an all pink coral tank. At least, I don't think I am.... am I? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 o ok, then what are you keeping in here Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 hehe. You know what would look pretty, a pink background and white pumping Xenias. Link to comment
