Daniel's 3g. Pico Thread

[tippMANn98]

I had to be so careful. I know as well as all of you the effects of a piece of sand stuck in an algae pad or magnet. The key is go slow. Im going to dread, if ever, when this tank gets coralline. It probably will not.

Great tank. I 'm about to order a Picotope (only because it's glass) for my office.

Will be checking back often.

Looking great Daniel!! I see my little guys family in there! (The mini red zoas) Tagging along watching your progress.

UPDATEaniel's 3g. Pico Thread

Here we are, I think about a month or so into this little tank thread. I decided i was not liking the aquascape at all!!!!! So I grabbed the and that rock until my anger was out, no really though, I made 4 nice pieces of LR out of it. YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE the coralline growth in this little thing! WOW. I noticed the light had a lot of spillage: :idea: , TIN FOIL. I made a really really simple reflector out of heavy duty tin foil. WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!!! I was like :whstlr: when I saw the difference, it really saves a lot of light, and I angled the Ends to keep the light DOWNWARD. :shades:

QUCIK HOMEMADE REFLECTOR

I added the Trumpet shortly after if fell on the yuma in the 29. it seems to like it in here. There are 2 little shrooms on the side, 1 baby bubble, and one unknown baby, green button frag, those brown and orange zoas from kathy, and some HH clauvaria polyps sprouting up like CRAZY

Way cool and awesome Daniel!

 

[Kate]

I love your little pico! I found this one, on youtube, and this guy went to WAY extremes, but it is really neat!

YouTube - Fish's 2 gallon nano tank - 8" cube.

Gonna Tag along on this one. I may have to break down and get me one of these little guys for my office. I hate being away from my tank during the day. I think ive been bitten with the Salt Water Bug. Why didn's someone warn me. This could get bad because I have a basement with plenty of space for a big job.

 

[yungreefer2410]

lets see a fts

 

[tippMANn98]

I'll get a new one soon, I have to clean the little guy first

 

[yungreefer2410]

okay it probably looks real nice now

 

[Grasspicker]

Its time for a FTS!!!!


I saw one of these this weekend in the LFS. I didn't buy. I still need to be tempted. So On With The Picture Show SIR.

 

[tippMANn98]

ok, ok...Let me clean it..RIGHT NOW....At least ya'll are motivating me!

 

[yungreefer2410]

:help1: we need pics

 

[AndtheBonus]

:help1: we need pics

I second that!

 

[tippMANn98]

Sorry, BUT, Im gonna have to keep you guys in suspense for a bit. I just finished cleaning, and with most things one little job turns into something more. I salvaged some LR that I took out of my chamber 2 in my cube and Put them to good use and re-scaped the Pico...I am even happier with this new scape, as soon as everybody opens and the water clears I will get some pics....SHOULD be tonight.

 

[tippMANn98]

OK for all you picture hogs...here they are: A little cloudy and still a little bit pouty!! Better pics tomorrow, for sure!
