1/2 gallon micro reef

[Daniel92481]

Hey reefers, just wanted to share a fun project here. I’ve had my pico set up for a while now and decided to set up a tiny 1/2 gallon micro tank using the light spill from the 360X. I found this cool shaped bowl sitting on a little piece of carved wood and thought it would be perfect for this project. Super basic build using 10watt heater with an air stone for water circulation. I added a couple of zoa frags, ricordea, and a rhodactis mushroom. I quickly went from two to three tanks that I’m maintaining. I have a nano, pico, and micro now. Here’s a few pics.

This is pretty cool! Do you just top off daily or do you have a lid to control evap?

Thanks! I just top off daily along with the pico. A lid would be ideal to control the salt spray. I think I have an extra coaster around here somewhere.😆

Salt spray vs. everything else around the tank:

Just so you're aware - "micro" is 1,000,000 times bigger than "pico".  The metric prefix goes: milli > micro > nano > pico, so on - at 1,000 times increment.  😄
