My 3g Picotope

[Dubbin1]

Just thought I would share a picture of the 3g picotope that I setup this weekend.

Looks really good. Are you using the stock lighting?

Yup They should be fine for what I am keeping in it. I'm sure I'll get a burr up my butt sometime and get more lighting for it.

Yes they are super cool. If you think they look good in the picture then you should see them in person. I really don't know the "name" for them as I got them from a buddy of mine yesterday. I'll try to get a better shot of them when they open back up (I moved them to be more visible while sitting at my desk).

full tank shots

 

[MrMexReefer]

thats the kind of sand i want for a diamond goby to go nuts on. Did you buy it like in special packaging for fish only... or some stuff from like Home Depot?

 

[Dubbin1]

GSMguy that is a full shot, its only 3g

The sand is Estes' Ultra Reef. I picked it up at the LFS and it is the same thing I have in my cube. I think I'll always use this sand since there is no powder and stays super clean.

What are your future plans for this tank as far as livestock and equipment is concerned?

I think it is just going to be a zoa/shroom tank. I was thinking about putting a clown goby and some sexy shrimp in it but I REALLY don't want to feed such a small tank. I have no real plans to change the equipment that it came with other then maybe making an overflow to put over the filter intake.

What is your lighting and cost of setup?

 

[Nanomaniac]

Nice closeups of the coral. Did you purchase the coral for this tank from Seacrop?

The light is the one that comes with the picotope and I have about $60 total in the setup

Nope, they all came from my tank. Well all but two zoas that I picked up from a buddy of mine on Saturday.

I will say this again. the light is the stock light that comes with the picotope. I'll take a guess that its around 8 or 9 watts.
