Found an old 2.5 gallon cricket tank in my garage. took a glance at it and the silicone was still good. Standing there for a breif moment I hardly thought twice about it.. A PICO TANK! the black top frame was just sitting there so I went ahead and took it off and scaped the remaining silicone off. Found a 50W heater and a 80GPH tetra pump from an old FW filter. It was time for a water change on my display any way, so I took about 3 cups of sand a a few pieces of LR along with the water change water and in about 5 minutes had a 2.5 gallon pico up and running. Water has cleared up some what today so I fraged a button polyp and some zooanthids. I also added 1 hermit and 1 black turbo snail to it and they're doing good. I am thinking it will probably just be a miniture zooanthid garden, but I might get some type of very small goby ( clown maybe?) but thats a big maybe. Any way just thought I'd share my new tank! updates to come when I get some more zooanthids!

I've got a 20W strip flourescent light that sticks out a bunch on both sides but it works so who cares right? might get the duel 18W coralife fixture when I've got the cash.

Get a little clown goby and stick it in there.

almost got a green clown goby but decided to get a coral beauty for my main display instead. I'm gonna montior the temps a little more closely and make sure they're alright before I drop $15 on a clown goby.
