Show off your picos!

Pico Keeper looks like you have a cyano outbreak going on great looking tank though.

Taikimoto how did you get the acrylic to seal to the glass IME silicone does not attach well to acrylic.

I love that 2.5. It looks really nice. I think you're firefish will be fine. IMO it's one of the fish better suited for picos.

You mean unless it jumps out of an open tank? I would show you my pico but I have some sense of modesty sir, or madame.

I always rough up the edges and surfaces that are to be bonded with sandpaper first, and use a dab of JB Weld here and there. Ive been glueing stuff inside fish tanks for years, and so far so good.

Best $14 fish I ever bought. And heres the thing, even if it did jump out of the 6" x 3" hole in the back of the canopy guess where it would land? Thats right, in the fuge. And please do post of pic of your pico, this is a showoff thread, which you sound like you would be PERFECT for....

 

[brandon0350]

sorry i just realized this thread is for pico tanks. my 12g isnt exactly a pico

 

[icepick5587]

o well its still a small tank, 12g works too

right now i'm trying to get ideas for my 2.5 pico...

 

[deacon hemp]

Thanks taikimoto for the sump shots.

My tank is 5.5 not a 2.5 and my jawfish... well, the tank is plenty big for him since A) hes a baby, and B) he never leaves a tiny little 5 inch by 5 inch area where his tunnel is. Im sure his tunnel is huge and goes all over the tank, but he never goes anywhere to far from his whole.

And I did have a tiny cyano outbreak one day, but it was my fault.. a cheap timer i had left the lights on for 2 days while i was on vacation and I was a week behind on my water change. I went to a 6 hour photoperiod for 3 days and did a water change and it never came back..

Now my enemy is GHA. I'm currently cutting back my photoperiod again, we'll see if it helps.

I have a quick question, I have a pico tank about 3G If I put a 24W light on it, what corals can I keep in it?? Thank you very much

 

[icepick5587]

You could probably keep anything thats not an sps or is aggresive.

 

[sophia101]

Nice tanks!

Would an anemone do well? I will post it when I have it set up

 

[icepick5587]

I think you would be ok with an anenome.

Definitely no hosting-species of anemones. It's far from enough light and a 3g is way too little water volume.

Takimoto, how did you get the acrylic so dark? Did you apply a paint?
