jmt's project: pico

It was just a lamp. The bulb wasn't very bright either (10w 6500k screw-in).

 

The bulb hanging out of the fixture kind of screwed it up. Maybe if I grab a 70w 20k MH spot bulb....

I was at a thriftstore this weekend eyeing vases just like yours JMT. I think I may go with a circular one instead of square. They were only 2 bucks.

 

Looks dope though.

That's cool. The only thing with a non-square on is... i kinda hang the damn filter from it. Good luck tho, and post if you do it.

Ohhh, I wasn't even thinking about the filter. Yeah, maybe I'll stick to sqaure. Anything circular is going to have a distorted view anyways. Thanks for the heads up.

I, also am going to be attempting this soon... i'm thinking about making a scale model of a full-out reef aquarium... sump, refugium, overflows, canister filters, MH, and even a mini skimmer... i'm into scale modeling and reefing, so i thought, why not???

 

i was thinking the main tank might be 1-2 gallons... big enough to build up a rock wall on the back of the tank... like my 18 gallon...

They have PL bulb pendants(not the screw in types) but I think you could make one easy enough.

Extra tiny pulsing xenia frag. 5 heads form .5mm to 2mm in length. I had to count them with a magnifying glass.

Looks cool, think I may do something similar when I go down to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point, Mexico). They have some awsome porites corals that would look cool in a small setup like that.

More updates!

 

I added 1/2lb of rock today. And some inhabitants. I also got a lot of corals from Dave at Kermit's Reef in Memphis, TN. Thanks for the sh!t Dave :D.

 

Current Inhabitants:

 

1xCerinth Snail

1x Asterina Starfish (there are 2 more but they're hiding in the 16ga)

2xStomatella Snaill (one more hiding in the 16ga)

The frags will go in the pico within the next few days. I just want to make sure the rubble is as cycled as I think it is.

 

As for the frags, you'll just have to wait to know what they are :).

PS: The RPE and a Zoo Frag are going to qfour20. So count them out.

Justin, you're on a role! This is a great set up so far and I hope you keep it updated. The_Barbe-Hatten_Project what scale do you model stuff to? That would be awsome if you did a scale set up, but i think you just might be joking...
