joy13 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Nice! What type of fish is that? I like it.... It is Neoglyphidodon nigroris juvenile and it will change color when it gets older. Link to comment
16bio Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ok...well the lfs has a adult one that is 3'' and another fs has one that is 3.5-4'' I think it may get to big for your little pico.... Link to comment
JUST.REEF Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yea... It will get too big I had it in there to cycle the tank and it's sort of damsel. Im actually taking it to the LFS for a trade in as it will be too agressive toward other tank mates ill trade him in for a goby or another coral. I cannot wait to stock it completely. The fixture is the best thing i have ever inveseted in $15 from IKEA $7 for the Acrylic and $30 for remote controlled 1X5Watt led globes and a bonus of the fixture is that it hides my filter and all the cables any suggestions on corals, fish or inverts to get for it and ow many i could keep in there? currently doing water changes 20% twice a week Link to comment

Jacob042426 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 very nice tank! i love the brain! Link to comment
philaquatics Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It looks great! I wish mine looked like that after 2 months. I've had mine set up since Jan. but i haven't been updating because i've hit a few road bumps mainly in the cash department. I'll get there though. Hope it will look as good as yours soon enough Link to comment
JUST.REEF Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yea the brain is awesome for $20. I have a couple of pictures i am going to put up i have put a couple of red mushrooms from my 16G into it now. I also got the yellow frogspawn for only $25 as well. I put my Tiny Green Mandarin in my Pico as he had whitespot/ich in my 16G so I thought I would remove him before it got any worse. It's going to be a pain getting him out although he does like at home in here. Do you guys suggest I put him back in my 16G or keep him in my pico? Phil- Sorry to here the main thing is that you haven't had any crashes in your tank Link to comment
philaquatics Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Phil- Sorry to here the main thing is that you haven't had any crashes in your tank Really quick question about the lights again. How do they mount in the fixture because they don't like regular screw bulbs? Not the best electrician so I need all the basic answer's as possible Link to comment
