Friendly Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 how big will those critters get? will you have to up-size them eventually or did you choose them cause of their pico proportions? 1 Quote Link to comment

None of them will get very big. The bristleworm would probably get the largest over time. 😄 I keep thinking of getting shrimp but I don’t know. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think?😇 So no fish or corals huh? 1 Quote Link to comment

The light isn’t great but I’m going to give it time before I go another route. 1 Quote Link to comment

A Little Blue Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Tinny "tank" with big cohones. I do watch that rope swing. 3 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Saw my blue banded shrimp grabbing at my fish today but he was excited as I just fed the tank. That type of asshat behavior will get him banished to a mini complete though. He is tiny so not sure what his plan was if he got the fish or if he was just trying to get food and wailing around widly at anything nearby. 4 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 For everyone that was having salt creep issues: I decided to go all week without wiping down the tank. you can see the tiny hermits in the first and last pic. One of them already murdered the snail and is wearing it all over town. 🙄 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Derek Claxton Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I thought about getting one of those tanks...just for kicks. But, not after seeing the creep. Also, I think the price is a touch high. 1 Quote Link to comment

Its a novelty for sure......... but it was too cute to ignore. 😄 I don’t think they thought it through from a reefing perspective so time will tell how it all works out. I just wipe the edge when I feed the other tanks and I never notice the creep. Some people haven’t had the salt creep issue at all. 2 Quote Link to comment
Derek Claxton Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 MY DIY gene is kicking in again. Been thinking of how I create something small like the Mighty Tank, but better. Their light is on point though when it comes to functionality. 2 Quote Link to comment

This is an EPIC tiny tank build from scratch, this guy has me WOW! I know it's not a Mini Complete Tank, AND it's a Planted Tank, but I found this extraordinary. WV Reefer, I'm not trying to threadjack, I'll remove this if you want, sorry. I thought I was still on the Mini Complete Tank thread, not your personal thread. My Bad!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment

He came out, grabbed it and started snapping right next to it. Next thing I know, he's ripping it out of its shell, it was goddamn brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment
