mariahranch Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Decided to enter the contest! I’ve never participated in anything like this before so it will be a true adventure. Here’s my build thread, awaiting my actual tank to arrive: “Old school can be so cool” pico contest entry I also wanted to know if it would be allowed to have a second entry? I’d like to do another tank all with leftover parts from my freshwater days over 10 years ago. Please let me know 😀 Second “it must be free” secret tank: 5 Quote Link to comment

It’s kind of lame to have people shove a couple hundred dollars of mature coral and rock into a pico and show off a gorgeous reef. A big part of the challenge should be to grow out the pico not just decorate it. Agreed...one of the most irritating things in the hobby is seeing someone with a brand new tank full of already-matured coral heads calling it "new". "If you say so..." 🙄 Quote Link to comment

"If you say so..." 🙄 I mean, it's too late now. The rules have no stipulations on corals. Everyone has to produce a monthly tank shot. So you'll be able to see someone's progress and if they have nothing in the tank for 6 months and decide to stock it at the end, then you'll know. Then just don't vote for them at the end. 🤷♀️ 4 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Anyone know how to shorten the extension tube on the aquaclear filters? I already cut the U tube and still the extension is too long, I'd prefer it mid tank. Quote Link to comment

You can use flex tubing internally to sleeve it, or cut just below the wider part on the bottom, cut the bottom shorter, then use the wider "ring" to reglue around where you need it. 4 Quote Link to comment

Might try a freshwater planted shrimp tank or something. I have 2 JBJ Picotopes that are like 3 gallons each, I bet they would work well with these filters for a low flow project That looks like the filter that came with the 3 gallon picotope. I still have one tank and filter. Emergency QT tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just what was said above ^^^^^ I cut mine and re glued it with ICE Gel. Worked out well. I just cut mine with a utility knife. Just be careful............. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just trying to share the BETTER deal that I wish I coulda taken advantage of...lol And because of YOU @asting, I'm thinking about one of those 20 gallon Cubeys Quote Link to comment

Emergency QT tank. Funny enough, I set one up (on a plastiv water with the top cut off...lol) and they are a little beefier than the filters that came with the Pictopes if I remember correctly. I really am pleased with the build quality on them 1 Quote Link to comment
