Pico Tank

[thompson2224]

Is there any LPS coral that would be okay to put in a 3 gallon tank? I have several in a 20 gallon tank that are very healthy but I want to start a 3 gallon tank and have an LPS in it as well. In the 3 gallon tank I won't be able to monitor or dose calcium, magnesium, iodine, or other minerals as easy but I do in my 20 gallon.

Here is my 5.5g Reef Islands, it contains LPS that you would typically find in a larger tank including acans, hammer, micro-elegance and torch.

With a small tank you don't have to dose anything as your weekly water change will refresh everything. I change 1g per week.

[Sandeep]

Tank has been running for about 8 months now.

Lighting is provided by a Coral Compulsion 14W Par30 18K Vibrance Reef bulb in a Staples desk lamp arm.

What kind of equipment do you have in the tank to keep it filtered and healthy?

 

[Sandeep]

Flow and filteration from one AC30 running foam and carbon. Weekly water changes of 1g. 2ml Kent MicroVert added weekly, 2 feedings of fish and corals per week max. Seachem Salinity salt.

Thats it, like to keep my tanks simple.
