June 10, 2008:
I took the yuma and the ricordia OUT of the Pico, I did add another baby unknown type of shroom and Kathy's zoas I got from the Round Robin, that I still have.
The little guy is doing good. Started the first algae bloom, its green, so I threw in 1 turbo and 2 ceriths. We'll see how they do, moved the rock around, and will be fixing the aquascape when I decide what I like. Will keep it posted, no pics now, just finished cleaning it, so its UGLY!!

Thanks mario, I needed a challenge, so why not a tiny tank? Its still in the works, still not liking the aquascape that I have, but I plan on making it viewable from 3 sides, all the rock will be piled on the left side, leaving the front back and right side for viewing.
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.
Yuma in the 3g:
That's an AMAZING critter buddy! Love this tank

Going against my "presentation rules" meaning, ITS NOT CLEAN SO I SHOULDN'T SHOW IT
. :evileye: here are a few quick pics, its not too too bad, but it bothers the heck out of me when my tanks are not clean, tonight maybe, but tomorrow is tank day for me.....i will be back with some more and better pictures.
Just Look at these snowflakes, wow, you know especially if you followed my orignal snowflake colony rise and demise. and then 3 just POP up from nothing, many many moons after the first colony disappear. and now THIS:
*a good sign, pods in my pico already!!!!
Full Tank shot:
Top down, im gonna be changing the aquascape still:
