TFish77 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Very cool. Any plans to put a lid on it at all or just leave it open? Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Nice. What is the volume that it holds? Quote Link to comment

I still have to cut out a portion for the airline and the heater cord though. 8 hours ago, vlangel said: Nice. What is the volume that it holds? Thanks! It's 9" tall with a 7" diameter. With rock and sand it holds about a gallon of water. 3 Quote Link to comment

Felicia Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Just a friendly reminder that if you haven't already, please pm me your December FTS and a link to your build thread by January 5, 2018. Quote Link to comment
reefcrimp Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Sorry for the lack of updates, just moved to a new place and things have been kind of crazy. The pico's finally done cycling and is a home to a maxi mini that's doing well so far (fingers crossed). It definitely won't be long term but I wanted to see how this anemone would do in a pico. She doesn't leave much room for anything else though. I've been feeding her PE calanus and mysis a few times a week. I'll be getting some sexy shrimp to add to the pico soon. Some pico specs: -CoralCompulsion 14W Par30 Superblu -apump Air Pump -50W Archaea Heater Time for some photos, let me know what you think! Aquascape: December FTS: 4 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I really like it, Simple and elegant. Did you build that light fixture? I need some thing for that kind of bulb style. I bought a cheap clip on at Wal-Mart but the bulb is too heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment

I got a clamp on task light for under $20 from Amazon, some office supply stores carry lamps like that too. Might be an option for you. 1 Quote Link to comment

The only downside to the lamp is that I can't adjust the height of the bulb so I may use another lamp with more flexibility. 1 Quote Link to comment
reefcrimp Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not much to update at the moment, anemone's still going strong. January FTS: Two of these guys added to the tank: Still contemplating what i can add to the tank for a fuller look. Any suggestions? 3 Quote Link to comment
tarunteam Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm stealing your idea! Also mushrooms would look pretty cool on the other side of the anem. Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi! Just a reminder to please pm me your February FTS by this Friday 3/2/18. Quote Link to comment
reefcrimp Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 This month's update won't be such a great one, got a healthy bloom of cyano that I'm battling at the moment. I should've paid more attention to feeding in such a small tank. Anyone have any tips on how to mitigate cyano in pico tanks without overdosing? I've been feeding every other day with weekly water changes but I cut feedings down to twice a week I'm wondering if I should just do a water change every time I feed the anemone. I've also added some pom pom gracilaria to fill in the back right before the cyano hit, hopefully the macro will help as well. Not looking good for the last month but here's a bubbly February FTS: 2 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The contest is coming to a close! March 31st will be the official end of the competition and then the voting will begin. In order to help the community decide what tanks to vote for, each remaining contestant will need to do the following: PM me three (3) final photos that you think summarize your container reef. The composition for two of these is up to you, but one of them should be a final FTS taken sometime during the month of March. PM me a written summary of your container reef build and experiences throughout the competition. This should be no more than 250 words. These items must be private messaged to me by midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on March 31st. Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just a friendly reminder that your write-up and three photos are due to me by private message by midnight (PST) tomorrow night (3/31). Quote Link to comment

You can use tap and final rinse with sw. Replace everything. This should get rid of the cyano. Worked well when I had my gha and algae outbreak Tank looks gr8. I like the simplicity and elegance of it. Quote Link to comment
