Sadly Raymond the hermit passed a couple months ago. I just did a water change today and finally cleaned the glass. Glad to see an update. Looks great! 😊 3 Quote Link to comment

I just skimmed back through the thread, and I definitely have let things slide. I'm going to try to get things all cleaned up again. 1 Quote Link to comment

You should do a coffee pot pico and actually use the built in heating element! I hope the journal helps in some way 3 Quote Link to comment

I hope the journal helps in some way Hm, that would be tricky I think. I'd have to learn some electrical stuff. I assume there's some sort of controller I could set to regulate the temperature. I'm sure I'll learn a lot by the time I've read through all 15 pages! 1 Quote Link to comment

I assume there's some sort of controller I could set to regulate the temperature. If the heating element has some sort of timer to turn it off, you'd want to bypass that. Then you want to use a temperature controller to control power to the element. More than likely, you'd want to set it a little lower, as the element will continue to supply some heat after power is cut. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I’m a couple weeks I may be making a run to some reef stores with my mom. If so, I’ll probably pick up some sort of shrimp or crab for the pico 8 Quote Link to comment

fishfreak0114 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I could use a little input. I may be taking a trip to some reed stores this weekend, and I’m a little hung up on what to buy. I skimmed one stores stock list and notes down anything that caught my eye. If you were me, what would you buy? White porcelain crab Pom Pom crab Mexican red leg hermit Anemone shrimp Sexy shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment
Firefish15 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I think that a pico like yours would really show off the sexy shrimp well. They're pretty easy to lose in a larger tank. 2 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I've been considering choosing one from the same list, minus the hermit crab, and I think I've narrowed it down to the Porcelain Anemone Crab (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai) for my pico jar. It seems to be the best balance of interesting and active invertebrate that isn't going to get into any trouble! 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

I still worry about their behaviour though, that’s why I haven’t gotten them previously... 22 minutes ago, Christopher Marks said: I've been considering choosing one from the same list, minus the hermit crab, and I think I've narrowed it down to the Porcelain Anemone Crab (Neopetrolisthes ohshimai) for my pico jar.

The last purple one I bought decided to spend his life in the sump I may actually see it in the coffee pot i appreciate the input guys!❤️ Do you think I could squeeze both in here, or is that pushing it? And then there is those beautiful anemone shrimp..ah! I want it all 3 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I vote either anemone shrimp or sexies! I have always wanted sexy shrimp myself but was afraid they would get lost in my tanks. 3 Quote Link to comment

He’s hilarious when I go to feed, he comes running out waving his pom poms and demanding food. They’re little, so in a bigger tank they might be hard to appreciate, but I think in yours you would get a lot of enjoyment out of it!

fishfreak0114 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Well, this trip is already much regretted. The highways are horrible, mom is almost crying she’s so scared, and the roads aren’t even ploughed. This highway is notorious and even has a Tv show, Highway Thru Hell. I hope we can get home tonight... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
