Turns out they grow pretty fast! 45 minutes ago, Christopher Marks said: I'm so glad to see the pico pot it still going strong! I'm impressed the pipe organ is doing so well too, neat to see! This might be the easiest tank I’ve ever maintained! The pipe organ is one of my favourites so I’ve been really happy to see it spread 🙂 I’m curious to see if it’ll try to grow right on top of its neighbors? 1 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Looks great! My tanks have all changed up lol. Is a diy led a possibility? 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe DIY led could work? I need to look into that. Me and electrical stuff should not mix. I got a rapid led kit once and that thing is so shoddily put together. It took me ages and the wires still come apart if I move it too much 2 Quote Link to comment

fishfreak0114 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Alrighty! So time for an update. No pictures atm sadly, I'm at work. The pico is alive and well. For most of July the glass was so algae covered I couldn't see much. But I recently cleaned it off, ripped out a lot of grape caulerpa (which was starting to smother things), and did a partial water change. I don't even feed the pico. The pod population is strong, and I see Raymond scooting about still. The corals are growing to some degree. Not nearly as much as before due to the fact that I still have a cheap PC over it as I'm undecided about the light situation. Thus far I have managed to avoid killing the cacti! I never realized how easy saltwater could be. Literally all I do to this pot is flick the light on and off, and squirt in some water every couple days! I hope to give y'all some pics in the near future. I need to clean the glass on both my tanks, so none today. But maybe Friday or something. 4 Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Sweet! It looks great. Do you have to prune the macros algaes very often? I like it that your contest pico is still in its contest container. How are the plants doing in the top of the coffee pot? 2 Quote Link to comment

I haven’t been pruning the macro too often, is growth ha slowed with the pc too. I should probably be trimming once a month? The cacti are pretty good! I’m amazed that I haven’t managed to kill them tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I love how you and granite reefer have kept your original containers. Most of us who still have our contest reefs moved into something that offered a bit more room. 2 Quote Link to comment

Never do anything inside of it 😂 I did enjoy seeing everyone’s upgrades though! 3 Quote Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well, long time no update! The coffee pot hasn’t really changed. Sadly Raymond the hermit passed a couple months ago. I just did a water change today and finally cleaned the glass. 11 2 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Yay, I am glad that the coffee pot is still going strong even if Raymond isn't. May he RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment

Thank you I'm not sure what I'll add in his place. Maybe a tiny shrimp or crab or another hermit. I'm hoping I can sneak the pot into my dorm room come fall! 2 Quote Link to comment

There is a home for it on my desk. 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment
