Here's a pictoral update on Mike's 3g pico. He found some sexy shrimp.

BEELZEBOB · 01-21-2008, 05:44 PM

thats freggin awsome!!!

what type of skimmer are you runnin?

kathywithbirds · 01-21-2008, 05:47 PM

no skimmer yet, he's just got a regular ol' mini filter on it. He's looking into getting (Azoo, is it?) a skilter for it, same size. There's very little bioload, he's got 3 sexys and a snail in there, there IS a peppermint shrimp but he'll be out tomorrow.

BEELZEBOB · 01-21-2008, 05:54 PM

i dunno.

id say skip the skimmer and go high flow,

let me drag somethin special out the dregs for ya......

panmanmatt · 01-21-2008, 05:56 PM

Dude, that pump is like 80x turnover rate.

BEELZEBOB · 01-21-2008, 05:57 PM

its got a gate valve!

kathywithbirds · 01-21-2008, 06:03 PM

ooo, he was just sayin' someone needed to make pico pumps. Hope Mike'll be on the computer at work, he should see that!!!

Thanks Bob!!!

As far as waste, he tops off a little every day and does a water change like every 3-4 days I think. Water changes are a joke on this thing after doing it for a 75g.

Here's his filter, blue led moonlight and heater, and you can kinda see the 150w daylight light he has on it. The shrooms seem to love this thing.

kathywithbirds · 01-21-2008, 06:32 PM

Pile on the snail!!!

HvyWx47 · 01-21-2008, 08:45 PM

Here is the Mignon Skilter. AZOOAZ.com

Bob thanks for the link to the Nano, I may go for it later as things mature. I need a little more rock, move the Peppermint and add my Xenia once it finishes it's slow move to a shell frag.

Adorable nano!

I should get a heater for mine too!

Be VERY careful cleaning the glass. It scratches extremely easily. I just use my fingers to clean mine but my frehie does not have coralline on it...

kathywithbirds · 01-21-2008, 09:32 PM

Hey Doni. It should be OK, it's nice heavy glass, not plastic or acrylic. Mike had seen it online before and we came across one in a store half price, so he couldn't pass it up.

Woodstock · 01-21-2008, 09:39 PM

Ahhh... Glass in nice! I like the shape a lot too.

In a tank that size, you might want to consider using poly pads instead of a skimmer. Flricordia has had tremendous success in nano tanks without using a skimmer. You might want to send him a PM.
