Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Tigah, Your pico scrapper is awesome and I'm going to have to get one for my pico. Great idea. Man you busted a pico quicker than I could say Ti --- Gah,,,, Mike Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 thanks! I was highly motivated to get a pico up and running, so that sped things up a bit for me. Link to comment
Perpetual98 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Let me get this straight. You're going to use the empty (I'm assuming that it will be empty) chili can for a sump? Are you going to put a refuge in there as well as a skimmer too? The bubble trap will be tricky. I think I read a thread somewhere where you can take a Euroreef or an ASM skimmer, boil it in hot water and then throw it into the dryer on hot to shrink it. That may work for your skimming. How about a Children's Tylenol eyedropper top-off system? Link to comment
Perpetual98 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 On another note, save the beans from the chili. You can use them as live rock rubble in your fuge. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 The empty can will be either a sump or a fuge, but not both. let's not get crazy here. Link to comment

davinaster Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hey, hold off on the kudos, folks. Anyone can throw some rocks into a bowl and call it a pico. He says he has plans for circulation, etc., but I don't believe we've actually seen it implemented. Tigah? As for you, oogie, your "pico" looks exactly like my "shroom containment center" only out of the tank. C'mon, guys, you gotta do better than that! Link to comment
jmt Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 As are most people on this forum. Link to comment
Cesar Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Im selling the upgrade version of Tigahboys 0.3g pico. This is the new 0.6g pico. I have 2 of these for sale. Hurry while they are hot. $20 each. Link to comment

For water movement, get a nano-nimble. Drill a hole through the outside piece parallel to the table. Tie one end of a piece of string to it and the other end to a small rat/large mouse. Get the rodent to run in circles around the pico tank (maybe chasing the tangs?). Voila, water movement. For counter-movement, repeat with another rodent moving in the opposite direction. Chaotic water movement is almost guaranteed as part of the system. You guys are mean. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Cesar - i already have the 0.6g tall pico. If I didn't, I'd definitely buy it from you. great price! Link to comment
