3gal pico

[gemz]

Well, Im starting up my first tank in over a year...Im excited about it..Just a small one to keep me busy but Im hoping to put up my 37g by the end of the year n slowly get back into corals...Gonna try n pay off a little debt before I start dropping cash on those suckers...ha..but this is the start of it..just a 3gal deco kit w/ 18watt bulb..gonna keep the rockwork pretty simple n minimal...Using my phone right now so Ill find out if I can post a pic right now...not sure wut livestock Ill end up putting in there...but still gotta let it cycle a bit so I have time to decide anyway...

Very cool, be interesting to see what you put in it.

From what I can see.. I like the rock work! It looks like a pillar. How did you attach the rocks? I love to see what people do with these. I just had a hard time keeping up with mine.

Awesome rockwork! This will be a fun tank. You should do fine with zoas, gsp, xenia, etc. A sun coral, dendro garden would look really cool.

[NateDogg]

A walking dendro would be awesome in a small tank like that.

Nice rock work, I have the same tank waiting to be set up following along so I can get so ideas : D. Nate do u know where u can get a walking dendro?

[Mike]

I would worry about having to target feed the dendro and keeping up with water quality. How about a small goby/pistol shrimp pair. That would be neat.

[NateDogg]

You do have to Target feed them. I think that would be easier in a Pico. It is easier to get to and there should be less livestock to steal the food from it. I bought my walking dendro from Aquarium Designs.

Looks good!

Be careful cleaning the inside of the tank walls, they scratch so easy! You will get endless enjoyment out of this tank, I can't wait to see the progress. I added some clove polyps to my tank a few months ago and they are doing very well, I would recommend them to you. Good luck!
