Melev Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I thought you might enjoy seeing some image of my 2g tank. It has been running for about 1.5 to 2 months now. http://www.melevsreef.com/pico.html There are a lot of pictures on that page, so there may be a slight delay in downloading it. Link to comment

Melev Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yeah, I saw that. I replied in the comments section. Link to comment
Styxnpicks Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 that sen mini is perfect for 2g tanks, I had one in my 2.5 with the flow slider all the way down and it was plenty of flow Link to comment
robmacy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 been to your site a lot - have it bookmarked for sump ideas. it's refreshing to see new journal entries. Link to comment
Angel Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 That tank is just to cute and Casper is gorgeous! Just curious, any particular reason for going BB? Link to comment
deacon hemp Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 That is a great pico,it has a good color mix but IMO the clams look a little out of place being theres no sand bed. just my 2 cents Link to comment
mushroom head Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 When i was on reef central i found this thread just on reef cenrtal and he said the clams died. Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 you would need like metal halide for those clams right? Even for a small tank? Just a thought i want to do a little research before i shell out 60$ on a clam. My lighting is 9 Watts per gal, it is a 2.5 gallon tank. I know that watts per gallon don't mean anything, just to give some specs. Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 well tech..i have 2 18 watt units, making it 36 watts. Link to comment
Kogut Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 You have to be careful w/ lighting for clams, bro. Maximas can do "okay" under PC. Croceas will most likely die. Deresa and Squamosa clams will do fine, IMO. Most small clams (less than 3", IMO) need a lot of filter-feeder-food to stay alive (light alone typically doesn't do it unless it's A LOT of MH). Just speaking from experience and seeing what happens to fellow reefers. Melev, that tank is awesome. You make me want a pico w/ a seahorse. Where'd you pick him up, anyways? Your work is always an inspiration. No exception here. Link to comment
Melev Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 It looks like that guy's gallery was pulled, because the link doesn't go to the stolen image any longer. Thank you moderators. I went barebottom only because I knew it would be easier to keep the tank clean and detritus free. Since there is no filtration, I want to keep the water healthy. I didn't even intend to ever feed the tank, to keep the water pollution-free, but then I went out and bought an ORA tank-raised seahorse, and now I have to stay on top of stuff like temperature, water changes, daily feedings (2x a day if possible).... My last Maxima did great in my 29g with PC lighting for 2 years. The two were in this tiny tank under 32w should have been fine. I even added phyto to the water, so they had food. I think the older one (1 year old)was sick or had an infection, and it infected the newer clam. I'm just guessing. It was really sad to lose both of them within 24 hours of each other.

coralcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Kogut: Thank you for the info on the clam, i am going to check out the clams that you suggested. Once again thank you Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Kogut: how many times a day would i have to feed the clam with invert food? Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 did you clams die melv? Link to comment
angelfishlover Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Nice tank Marc, but dont you think the 2 is a little too small for the reidi? that things gonna get about as tall as the tank is. Also theres a little too mutch current in there. From what I understand 7X is the ideal turnover for all seahorses. Link to comment
Fishguy Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I hate threads like this.. I don't need more tanks.. but I've been lusting after a pico softie garden. Link to comment
Kogut Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Oh you know you want one. Between Fish, Melev, and Tigah... It's really really hard to resist. I broke down last weekend and made one. Any updates? Link to comment
