The tank has elements that he really appreciates (i.e., mostly having a miniature "house" with a spinning wheel and seeing guppies "walk" on the bridge), but I've enjoyed it a great deal myself as well. Photo below: That FW tank led me back to N-R, and I've been itching to set up a nano reef tank ever since. I do have a 20g nano reef project in the works right now, but that is taking a bit longer than anticipated to get wet. So I figure might as well make my life harder and throw this pico tank into the mix. For this set-up, I'm going to try to make a pico that complements and replicates some elements of the #kiddieplantedtank that I set up for my son. Basically a tank that both he and I can enjoy together. I'm calling this one the #kiddiereeftank. 🙂 And the pico will be home to pom-pom crabs. Maybe I should call this tank the Pom-Pom Pico Paradise Tank. 🤔 Some background: I've been away from N-R for a very long time, so I'm not familiar with most of the active N-R members anymore, and don't see many of my old N-R buddies around (😥), but I'm looking forward to getting to know current N-R members through this contest. I was a very active N-R member myself almost 15 years ago (Team '04!), and I had a blast participating in N-R's very first pico contest back in 2005-2006 with my custom 2.5g surge/tidal pico. Admittedly, I focused more on the set-up than the livestock for that first contest, so I'm glad that we have standardized the tank and equipment this time so I can focus more on what's inside the tank. But sorry, I just can't bring myself to do the janky tank. lol. TL;DR - I'm super thrilled to be back in this hobby after a long absence, and I'm entering the pico contest with my #kiddiereeftank which will house pom-pom crabs. Anywho, time to put on my game face. Tigahhhh! Former team 04 here. "Reeferbarra20" last login was 2011, and apparently it was hacked. Can't remember the recovery email for the life of me. I'm about to be back too bro! 1 Quote Link to comment

I've been away a long time from NR myself. Not sure what happened to this place, but NR seems a whole lot nicer and more civil than back in the day. It was more troll or be trolled back then. I'm not complaining; I think it's better this way. I'm trying to be a nicer version of myself as well. LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment

I suppose it'll make for a better experience altogether. Lol. Well, we're a decade older than we were, so I guess I can try too. Haha 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Wingy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Have you had any issues with the Dendro sending out long tentacles? My LFS had a small one but kept an arms length open space around it which scared me away. Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 New addition update! Not a great pic since I took this in my car right after getting it. But I picked up this Japanese Pink Nephthea today from a local reefer! 7 2 Quote Link to comment
