dafil Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Good luck with the new project! Link to comment
Horen Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 This 1.5G pico finally come to its end.......... BUT the new 3G arcylic tank will be set up very very soon What were the dimmensions of the 1.5? Link to comment
yoowicked Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thank you guys! Plan? there are so many plans running on my head but none will fit in this tiny little one. LOL This pico will be connected to the sump of the main tank, so they can share the chiller during the summer. it's the old lighting in the pic, DIY 10W. will see what i'm gonna put in this pico and upgrade the light accordingly.

Nanofreak79 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sweet tank, both old and new one as well. Link to comment
yoowicked Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Finally had the water in last night but unfortunately couldn't find any good quality live rock from lfs in order to make up the scape. so i made a rack for the coral temporarily. i know it looks a bit weird.... Bought a pair of clown fish, hopefully they can pair up Very good looking weed.....anyone knows its' name? Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This thing is sweet !!! How's it doing ? Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sweet thread! Gotta ask, what camera are you using to take pictures? Link to comment
yoowicked Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Kinda busy lately, very slow progress on this pico. I'm a bit lost on this pico since I introduced these two nemo in it. Link to comment
JR! Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 very much in love with this little tank Link to comment
xiaoxiy Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Kinda busy lately, very slow progress on this pico. I'm a bit lost on this pico since I introduced these two nemo in it. Jesus, that's a pretty tank. Out of curiosity, do you run a top on it? You might be the worst influence on me; now I want to get another clownfish and run a pair. LOL Link to comment
yoowicked Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I really need some advises here! The main tank and the pico are now connected and shared with the same refegium. I don't have many filtration equipments but just a NACQQ skimmer. There are loads of caulerpa growing in my sump which I think it helps a lot in my case. I don't do much water change in regular maintenance, the last time I changed water was two weeks ago when I set up this pico! i'm too lazy to do WC! I did a water test last night and the result are as below. PH - 7.8 Salinity - 1.025 NO2 - 0 mg/L NO3 - (30-40)mg/L PO4 - 0.25 mg/L Kh - 6.4 Ca - 460 mg/L Mg - 1350 mg/L I'm not good at chemistry, are the Kh, Ca and Mg at a right level?? I only have LPS and fish, are the NO3 and PO4 level still too high? if in long term, what is the best way to lower the NO3 and PO4 in my case? should i run a bio-pullets reactor? I'd love to hear some voice! PLZ! Link to comment

Furthermore, a lot of us also run weekly water changes in our pico/nanos to keep nutrient levels down. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I would suggestion about a 25% water change,seeming both systems share the same sump correct ? Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Looks like it could be a carpet nem Link to comment
yoowicked Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Added new rocks for the scape, um..........have a feeling there is something wrong with it but dunno what! Link to comment
yoowicked Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 how you like the qq skimmer? Well i would say it's value for money. Link to comment
markalot Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Try and keep KH between 7 and 8, Calcium between 430 and 450. Why do you think something is wrong? Link to comment

The bad feeling coming from this , it's far too big for this pico and it seems disturbing other corals very much. The tiny yellow carpet ran away from it the next day!! LOL Link to comment
