the unofficial show your pico reef tank thread!!!

[Friendly]

I have nothing to share, but I would love to see pictures of your pico with a list of the hardware you're using for it. 

 

that 2.5g pico that Sandeep just posted has fired my imagination up. 

 

let's see what you've got and show off what is possible!!!

I'll play. I have a standard 5.5 with a 12w PAR bulb from Reef Radiance over it (I think I need more light though as some things are stretching), using a task lamp to hold it.  AquaClear 70 filter modified into a refugium and an airline (no airstone) with air pump for a little added circulation.  Eight-hour light cycle on a timer.  Bare bottom, combination of live rock I had and dry reef saver rock from Bulk Reef Supply.  It's been up about 2 months although some livestock was a transfer from my previous pico, and this was set up after an inter-state move.

 

Most current FTS from last week:

My office 2.7 gallon pico.

 

I am only having "pest" corals inside.. those invasive corals that most people do not want in their main display tanks.

 

Coral Compulsion Par30 bulb

Aquaclear 50 filter, modded to a mini refugium with chaetos in the back.

so it's corals that pick on corals? instead of a buddy system, you've got a bully system going?  

[Draco]

ha, survival of the fittest, I say!

My Fluval Sea 5 gallon. It looks yellowish because I used a gel filter to take the photo. I have the current Orbit LED over it. SW-2 for water movement. 1 small clown, goby/ pistol pair, and a good assortment of sps/lps/ and softies

For the price it's a great tank. I haven't seen any other AIO this size that I would trade it for
