I don't have a lot of space on my limited rockwork so hoping to utilize one or two of these in the pico when the time comes. I almost bought some of these when I was still thinking about breaking my rocks up for my scape...I'm eager to see how they work out 3 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 @MetaTank here's a quick photo with one of the PicoRox in the tank. I think it needs an actual coral frag on it tho. Lol. 6 Quote Link to comment

Dang, I'd love to see a little torch frag or something in one of those, so you can always isolate it or locate it "down wind" of other corals as far as flow is concerned. Plus, all that extra movement it would bring higher up in the tank. Good purchase! 1 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully should have both by Saturday so it's gonna get real serious up in here at that time. I guess another empty backlit tank shot until then. 🤷♂️ 5 Quote Link to comment
MetaTank Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 You have plans for the inside of the Tiki Hut? Something non-photosynthetic? I have a great overhang on the right side of my big rock that doesn't get a ton of light... Quote Link to comment

If that doesn't happen might look into putting something there. I do like dendros and sun coral tho. 1 Quote Link to comment

May be able to scoot your tank forward and do a shorter reservoir of some kind right on top of the stand ? 🤔 I’ve been thinking I may do some sort of DIY drip ATO with a tall vase beside my tank... somehow ⚗️ 1 Quote Link to comment

Could squeeze a teeny tiny container behind my pico. Man, this pico contest is a lot of work. A vase as an ATO would look awesome and would definitely be unique! 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm trying to find a readily available container/reservoir that could fit in this small tray (before I have to go an get a quote for a custom acrylic box from @This guy is extra salty). Probably can only fit something with dimensions of 8.5"(l) x 5.25"(w) x 8"(h) which only gets you to around 1.5g, but that's probably good for like 2 weeks or so for me. Ugh.

Tigahboy Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Since @yoshii won't ship me anything from Hawaii, I think I'm going to have to order some stuff from IPSF.com for my pico as well. It is pretty pricey though since it is being shipped from Hawaii (Kona). Like 6 baby (0.5-1") bristle worms for $19.99. 😐 As far as I can tell, I have zero bristle worms in my tank and bristle worms from Hawaii would be nice, but $19.99 though?? Hmmm... And thanks @seabass for the link in @yoshii's thread. Now I can finally compete with her in the Hawaiian macro department as well. LOL. 9 hours ago, This guy is extra salty said: Specific color?

If you give me a good deal, I'll add the following to the title of my thread: "Now featuring This guy is extra salty's ATO reservoir" or something like that.* *for a limited period of time. 6 Quote Link to comment
