Daniel's 3g. Pico Thread - Page 2

tippMANn98 · 05-30-2008, 11:00 PM

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!

Way cool Daniel, looks great!

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.

Awesome Daniel! Love the rock and scaping. Excellent

That yuma is sweeet!

Great start! May have to get me one of these for my desk at work (if I can convince the boss that is

)

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!!

UPDATE: June 13th, 2008

CUC added, yaaay! I added 2 small ceriths, 2 small scarlets, and 2 small star turbo snails. Also I little tiny baby Peppermint shrimp, its soooooooooooooo tiny.

broke off a frag of these unknown shrooms that I have, and its now in the pico.

3lbs Tonga Blue Ridge LR

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.
