devaji108 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 like most of use I DONT really need another tank with a 90 reef and 20L going some how I want to start a lil pic now too. ugh why or why did I clink this sub forum. ha not ure why I want one as my other 2 tanks need love and work but I am think a small biotope or something could be fun. as I believe the peto 1per gallon sale is going on I was thinking of a 5.5 gal tank could be a fun lil project...just read through the sticky the AC mod is bad A$$. anyway talk me out of it guys/gals Quote Link to comment
Nart Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I support your decision in starting one It's not just you man. I think almost everyone catches the pico bug at some point. Just a matter of time. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draco Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I don't think the 5.5 gallon is on sale at petco.. 20 gallons and up. but 5.5 would make a great pico! 1 Quote Link to comment
devaji108 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 yeah the nearest petco is a 100 miles each way...not gonna drive over there for a 5.5 gal. tank anyway. haha was just checking out the fluval evo 5. is it worth is or would you have to upgrade the pumps and lighting anyway? Quote Link to comment
Draco Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 depends on what you want to keep in it. pumps will probably be fine, but not sure what kind of light it has currently Quote Link to comment
devaji108 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 yeah I will have to do a bit more research for sure. like I said I really don't need another tank. haha not even sure what I would do with it. guess I should 1st get my other 2 tanks were I want them...as if that ever happens Quote Link to comment
Draco Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 do a pest tank! That's what I am doing, lol 1 Quote Link to comment
devaji108 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 ^ haha yoy know I was thinking about that today. or something wired spices tank. to bad dwarf SH are hard to keep I would so be in to that! Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Lol Deva, you're so funny!!! I got this Betta Waterfall and turned it into a Pico, it's my easiest tank: https://www.amazon.com/Aqueon-100101218-Kit-Betta-Falls/dp/B00INCRSFC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499962027&sr=8-1&keywords=betta+waterfall+tank Very low maintenance, low cost, trouble free and healthy, has been set up since January.

devaji108 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 the more I look in to it I think I am gonna try a Dwarf seahorse tank! I am still researching but I am leaning towards it!! thanks for the links weetabix! of course a lot ot research has to been done. quick question what do all you pico gurus think about the fluval evo V not sure on the lighting? or was thinking a aquamax 5.2 any other fun lil tanks i should think about? I guess 1st step is decide what I want to keep.lol Quote Link to comment

A dwarf seahorse tank would be cool but SO much work. I'd suggest a reef jar or bowl like Brandon429's vase or Natalia's bowl as they are low maintenance and gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment
devaji108 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 yeah after a lil research I decided a DSH tank is out. way to much work than I want right now. I am in no hurry either if something comes up i'll jump on it. but with 2 tanks going I decided to focus on that those 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment
SeaFurn Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Go with a bowl! Like Lula says they are low maintenance. This is mine. 3 Quote Link to comment

Around $14 if I remember correctly! That's the best place I've ever found for them. Every time I'm in there I see one or two bowls/containers/vases that are so cool and would work.
