Looks cool. I have a 2.5 gal aquarium i want to set up. Looking for light and filter for it. The ones for that pico would be perfect. Know where I can get one?

ooooooooooo.

I gotta post you a pic of Mike's 3g that went 5g. It's got zoos, shrooms, a bit of macroalgae and the xenia keeps having to be trimmed. He calls it his xenia garden.

DAY TWO:
I used 2 gallons of my tank water, and 1 gallon of mixed water. 5 full lbs of Live sand went into this little guy. so overtime that will be a good thing.
today salinity was 1.025, fine for now. I added an extra piece of Tonga branch, and my little baby car. bubble shroom. All cleared up now.

GREAT tank bro!!!

Our LFS had a sexy shrimp a couple of weeks ago. They had it in a tiny "breeder" cage thing to keep it separate from the rest of the tank. Was too cute!!

For now I am going to use the lil' tank for my small frags, so right now there is the baby bubble shroom, I added my small frag of Blue Snowflakes, and orange and teal ric (which is ready for sale)

I found some really really nice LR for $5.99/lb. I got 4 lbs, but only 3 of it fit into the tank. The guy at the LFS said it was Tonga Blue Ridge LR. Its really nice. here is the Mini aquascape so far. added my rainbow yuma w/baby and the orange and teal ric, as well as the blue snowflake frag that is taking off!

The Rainbow Yuma seems to enjoy the cooler temps of the pico along with the better light penetration. I have opted to go topless on my 29 cube and hang a pendant hqi 150w from a fixed wrought iron plant hanger.
