Pico reef

I like what you have done with the power head, A simple but effective idea, its so simple im surprised that its the first time ive ever seen anyone paint the power head, good job

i just hope it's aquarium safe paint.... otherwise it might leach chemicals into the tank

looks like a nice start

looks awesome!!!

JBM=what? he probably painted the outside of the tank.

nice tank though, if your going through a cycle you dont need the skimmer on.

my only question is---where is the filtration?

I don't think the powerhead is painted-In my opinion it's just the light affecting the grey ph.

I really don't think that that rubble/gravel is a good idea.

Dolphinfan213 - you dont need filtration. Thats what LR and LS is for. I dont have a filter or skimmer on ANY of my tanks. And I have a 3gal, 55gal, 10gal. All reefs.

Is that the biocube skimmer? If so how do you like it?

looks nice

The powerhead is painted (water safe paint), the skimmer is some unknown brand.

The substrate is not gravel, but chrushed oyster shells.

I have a similar skimmer - it came from Hong-Kong.

i like the painted powerhead. it looks good!

nice

awesome is it noisy?

looks great but I thought only tanks 55 gallon and up need protein skimmers? With nanos water changes weekely do the job hmmmmmmmmm
