coralcrazy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 okay guys..i am making a 2.5 gallon pico with the works..70 Watt MH 20K bulb..chiller will be on the tank..hood.. now the coral section...since i have such crazy light..i got some morphs that are absolutly breath taking...these bad boys will go in my 2.5 gallon tank..i am also going to put some zoas and sun coral in there..now any other suggestions? The Enchi isnt my pic that i took but another reefers..he is fraging me all of those Link to comment
Smada77 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 How did you get everything to stick on the back wall like that? Why did you go bare bottom? Did you teach your fish to swim on his side? Oh, wait.... that's a top down pic! Looks good! Just curious... what are your temps with that strong of a light on such a small tank? 70 ÷ 2.5 = 28 watts per gallon! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 those look like RandyO's echinos. some of the healthiest and fastest growing echinos around. good score. Link to comment

Pinrod Urkish Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I found it easier to run mini pc's instead of coral cooker MH. "Same bright less fire Mini PC's" Link to comment
coralcrazy Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 it won't cook coral..i have an iceprobe..do you know how much that thing will keep my temp down by? especially in a 2.5 tank.. PC are good but i want my coral to have more color than a PC would give them.. Link to comment
