Hey there! i started up a Aqueon Evolve 4 Pico for my daughter cause she loves looking at my 29g Biocube. Just set the tank up last night to start cycling. i will post pics soon as my wife gets home with the camera :P Thanks for your interest and i look forward to your comments!

 

Tank: Aqueon Evolve 4

Lighting: Stock "for now"

Equipment: Stock filter until after Cycle then will be Chemipure Elite and maybe purigen too?

4 lbs Live Rock

1 1/2 inch Black Sandbed

Stock return pump (98GPH)

25w Stealth heater

 

I want to keep mainly, Acans, Zoas and some "hardy" sps like birdsnest etc.

Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated

Sounds like a great start. Theres several of us on here with the Evolve 4 tank, seems to be a great setup so far. I'll definitely keep up on this build. Even though you are copying my black sand.....haha

(love it) but ya everything is going great, have coraline growing on my rocks now, CUC is in and added a fish as well! CUC is 4 hermits, and 4 snails. Fish is small green chromis once he starts to grow big i will be transfering him to my biocube :)
