Has anyone seen an attempt at reefing one of these yet? It holds around a qt. I'm trying a few zoas, cloves and a trumpet augmented with dragons breath, micro stars and pods to see how it goes. I also added 2 mollies but I'm not sure they are a good idea. I did augment with a chepo led, removed the interior base, and added a 1 1/2" peice of bubble tube onto the end of the faucet (return) to cut the splash out. I plan on 100% water changes several times a week. If all goes well I'll be getting all around upgrades.

This is right after the corals were added. We'll see how the cheap leds do...

Very interesting pico

How long did you acclimate the molly's to full salt water?

[four7mike]

Actually they are born to it however when I buy breeders I just temp acclimate and plop them in. I did a water change this morning. I'm thinking due to the extra small size I should augment the tank with a large filtration system. The trick to that will be keeping the flow down.

Something like an AC70 with an AC20 impeller might work.

I really can't do HOB on this. Possibly a really low flow canister or a sump with a computer water cooler pump. It's a tricky one that's for sure.

So I did some looking and found this:

It sits at 80gph and people complain of them getting gunked and slowing down. I think its my best bet for super low flow. What do you think?
