Alfredo da reef guy 85 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 This here is my 2 gallon Pico set up. I have a heater and air pump from Walmart. The cookie jar is 2 gallons also bought from walmart.Heater is for 5 to 10 gallons.Has led lights bought from Amazon. Has approximately 2.5 pounds of live rock. Not sure but I think I have 3 pounds of crushed coral. My corals range from softies to lps and one sps I don't know the name of XP. I have one blue hermit a zombie snail and some other snails that came in as hitchhikers. There's a cleaner shrimp and gumdrop gobby. Also I think I have what I call some spaghetti worms inside. I was told they where good for cleaning so I left them inside. Corals are a Duncan some zoa's, frogspawn, acan ,two others I don't know the names of. One is an sps that is recovering. Link to comment

SeaFurn Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Looks good. What kind of LED did you get? Is it strong enough for SPS? I like your goby. I had been thinking about getting a yellow clown goby for my bowl but then I got some acros and I've read that they pick at them so going to keep it fishless for now. Link to comment

Not sure what they are called by I got the LEDs from Amazon for 16 dollars..they do good with all the corals I have..even the sps..yeah that little gumdrop is awesome he was shy at first but now he's all over the place. Best part is i got him at my lfs for only $5.99 and i though that was a steal. He's quite funny and very active.I don't have across so I'm not sure if he does pick at them. Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Sexy Shrimp are a lot of fun to watch and the perfect size for a bowl like this, but make sure you keep him well fed, cause if you don't he might nibble at your Zoas. Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 In my experience they aren't that picky and will eat just about anything. Pretty sure he'd be perfectly happy with Mysis. Link to comment

Set towel out on workspace, take rock out of tank and place on towel, put dab of superglue on rock, place coral on top of superglue, put both right back in water cause the water will harden the glue.

Ok I got the super glue today I bough it at the local dollar store while shopping there..it's the cyanoacrylate type u said but in gel form. Will this one work good? Or should I get the other kind?. Again thanks for ur time and help. Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I use cyanoacrylate gel. Loctite, I believe is the brand name. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Should be fine as long as it's cyanoacrylate. Link to comment
