3g Pico at one year and 9 months

:0

That thing is packed. Its amazing how much its grown during the time I have been here.

Really Nice!!!

nice monti.

Thanks! I still can't believe the amount of growth I've been getting. I have SPS growing out of the water!

Three letters: LED =)

O_O holy... cow... Greatest pico I have ever laid eyes on.

Thanks for the desktop background. Your tank is awesome.

That is insanely amazing...wish I could do that.. Cannot believe the growth you have got and yet it still looks like a full size tank packed with corals.... JELOUS!!!

pretty small IMO. You should get a larger tank one of these days like maybe a RSM you know like actually have water in your aquarium.

Ha ha good one Steve. I do have a RSM remember? Now if I can only get it stable like my pico. Whoever said bigger tanks are easier was totally lying. =P

Wow!!!! do you have a thread where you discuss the setup of this thing?

How do you keep it so stable?

Oh I've see your RSM, must be weird to store water for the thing. As always nice work I am looking forward to seeing the new one mature.

Wow that is not easy to do. Well done!

That's looking really nice! Are you adding any kind of supplements or some kind or liquid food?

This tank just lured my friend into the hobby. Pretty sweet, right? Loving what the LEDs have done, that growth is freaking explosive!

The RSM is too much for me. I can't keep up with it. And I"m having a hard time running it during the summer. I think I need a chiller or something.

n0rk, I'm glad I got your friend lured into the hobby. The more the merrier. =)

Beautiful!

wow very cool

WOW! thats awesome! what kind of metal halide is that?

Not metal halide, LED which is perfect for any pico setup with comparable PAR as metal halide but without the heat.

Someone asked earlier about dosing and supplements. I dose with a two-part solution twice a day to maintain alk and calcium levels (with all that SPS and LPS in a three gallon tank it gets depleted pretty quickly) and I feed the tank once a week supplemented with Seachem Reef Plus.

I do a 20% water change once a week with Oceanic Natural Sea Salt Mix.

Well done sir.

Absolutely fantastic! Best thing I have seen in this size category, hands down!! Do you have a list and estimated cost for the equipment on this. I would love to build something like this!

Please please please explain to me how and what kind of LED you used??? I'm working on gettting a new light for my 2.5g pico and before I drop like $130 into evilc's par38 tell me what you did, b/c it really looks amazing!

You'll have to ask evilc, he made it for me! =)
