I’d be more interested in @Micro-Reefs Aquariums doing a custom build to the preferred dimension. That way you don’t have to work out of someone else’s design... it’s all yours from start to finish. Nonetheless I’m excited about @The Rainy Day Aquarium elevated Pico! 3 Quote Link to comment

Nice thing is with a tank that small you could cut a credit card in half and use it to scrape the glass with your hands lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I centered my scape around the corner where the overflow is at (as it's kind of an awkward protrusion into the tank anyways and seemed most natural?). My advice would be to keep it simple and to remember with these small tanks especially, less is more; they get busy really fast haha! Other than that, ask around and tell us what you are thinking, we all would love to help. 1 Quote Link to comment

Haha yeah I have a knack for tiny reef tanks 🤓 I consider myself a strong advocate in the field of evaluating a clean cut pico system. I have been in the hobby since 1990 when I picked up my first 10 gallon black background TruVu acrylic salt water aquarium. I have been sharing all my knowledge since 2004 here on nano-reef. If you enter my name mikeguerrero into the search engine you will get a flood of support I have given all reefers. Your pico, is clean, sharp and draws attention. Those are qualities that can start into the makings of a gorgeous pico to be! For that alone, I must salute you! Great start on this build! P.S the picture, how it was captured shows what type of reefer you are, creative and using pristine colors to make that image explode into us wanting to see more! 1 Quote Link to comment
The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 @Micro-Reefs Aquariums Wow, thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot, especially coming from you! Although you, sir, are the one whom I should salute. It is people with talent such as yourself who provide quality equipment for the rest of us to enjoy. Not only that, but also help build the hobby by offering your experience and ideas to us new blokes 😁 Keep up the amazing work! 👍💯 1 Quote Link to comment
The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Finally got this tank wet! My efforts in trying to sqeeze a lager pump in the overflow were in vain. I'll be using just the stock return pump, although I would still like to change out the nozzle for something else. We'll see. A pretty cramped overflow lol 6 Quote Link to comment
