Nice! What type of fish is that? I like it....

It is Neoglyphidodon nigroris juvenile and it will change color when it gets older.

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

Philaquatics- Yes this is true they are from here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220891494581?ss...984.m1497.l2648

 

the best investment i have made so far they come with a remote to adjust brightness 16 different colours and on/off button. For $10EA. can't complain lol.

 

Any advice you could give for a newby to picos like me?

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

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 :)

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
