Adrian's 5.5 Pico Thread

[AdrianBryce]

Well, I bought Sean's pico tank. Got all my stuff set up in the office today and did my scape. what do you think? Currently has 3 blue leg hermits that were stowaways on the rock. they will be removed when i get a proper CUC. also pardon the bubbles, I forgot the filter pad this morning so the fuge is moving more water than it will be. Also sorry for the crappy pic. I forgot my DSLR too, so I had to use my BB.

Stocking plans are as follows.

Mini carpet nem
5 sexy shrimp
Yasha goby/randalls pistol shrimp pair
zoanthids
ricordia
bubble mushroom
Frogspawn
Blastos
xenia

That 1 piece of rock looks a little on the naughty side. I had 3 people at work just make that comment out of nowhere. Actually this site wont allow me to say exactly what the comment was. If you place the Zoas just right you could have a perverted pico.
Other than that I think it will be a nice project.

 

[AdrianBryce]

I thought about that too, it is a "happy" tank. But I wanted the branch to be....well branching off the main part of the scape. Also wanted it to provide a little shade to anything I don't want growing super fast.

also feel free to PM me the comment. I am curious.

HAHAHAHAHA, nice.

Looks good, can't wait to see it grown in. I never seem to see many pico tanks last long enough to really grow in well.

Well, this one is going to be a jungle. It isn't going anywhere. It has lot's of stamina

 

[AdrianBryce]

Alright, it is unanimous. The tonga branch looks like a tool. I changed the scape. here is adrianpicoscape 2.0

 

[MVlk]

Well that helped a bit... Still looks a little like Lorena Bobbit added the final piece.

In all seriousness... looks like a good start.

 

[AdrianBryce]

man, I just can't win. Maybe I will just take that piece out.

 

[eyebedam]

How about standing the schlong branch straight up and lean the other large pieces on it so as to make larger/deeper caves/ overhangs. Just a thought.

 

[AdrianBryce]

nope, your reference to the schlong branch solidifies my resolve. The piece is coming out. I think it will look better if I keep it bonsai.

 

[eyebedam]

At least try it that way once. I think it will look good & not be noticable.

 

[AdrianBryce]

the other pieces are epoxied together.

 

[eyebedam]

There sticky ehh

 

[AdrianBryce]

Damn, it never ceases. lol

 

[MVlk]

Seriously though, I had a tonga branch piece like that and could never get it to look quite right.

 

[ai-reefer]

Dildo in a reef tank! never seen that b4 lol :lol:

 

[AdrianBryce]

it is coming out today.

 

[eyebedam]

it is coming out today.

Where ya gonna put it next?

 

[AdrianBryce]

It is going back in my rock holding tank, until I can get my 90 RR plumbed, which I have now idea how to do. Thankfully Andy is coming over at some point to help me out. Once that is done, it will go in there, and I have more tonga branch to put with it, so it won't look so boner-y.
