allesluge Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I bought this betta fish tank from a LFS few months back with the idea to turn it in to an all in one sub gallon tank. During the old school Pico tank contest, I have added two sexy shrimp which my significant other and I have enjoyed to watch in the pico tank. however even in the 2.5 gallon tank the sexy shrimp some time were out of sight so this 0.9 gallon tank seemed to me the ideal size to fully enjoy this critters. had it store until I have seen @Christopher Marks announcement for a new contest. so the idea started running again in my head and here we go again… as the last pico contest it is a late start but the knowhow learnt from the old school tank will help to make this a thriving environment (hope so). The idea is to add some live rock two or three sexy shrimp and some different zoas, every type in one polyp quantity to notice growth. The tank has a partition in the back to store water from cleaning the display tank, I will modify to a back filtration chamber and install a tiny power head for circulation. It has a base, display section, back container and a lid. All made of PS molded injection. 9 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I like the idea of a <1 gallon entry. We have a broad array of tank sizes this time. Good luck. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
ef4life Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sounds like a great tank for some sexy shrimp. I would try to get frags with at least 3-4 polyps though, not 1. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks @kimberbeeIt is a betta fish tank, work today with the overflow to the back chamber it is almost finished, still need to figure out the light. I am thinking to buy the suggested light and modify it, maybe with a 10 w led 5 Quote Link to comment
