I upgraded my 2 gallon pico to a 2.5g

I went from a Fluval Spec to a mini aqueon tank, with a frame made from molding to match the bathroom decor. The top of the frame holds an ecoxotic panorama LED module. The tank is bare bottom, I want to get some GSP covering the whole floor eventually.





For filtration, I have two tiny Tom filters with spray bars. I can't find the carbon inserts for them anymore, so I took out the sponge and replaced it with carbon infused sponge. I don't know how well the stuff works, but for a 2g it's worth a few buck to try it out.





The tank has been kind of grungy with a mini cycle. I took some rock out of the sump on the big tank, but it's still getting a diatom dusting. I plan on doing weekly water changes, changing filter media once a month. No fish! All the cuc is already in there: two tiny blue leg hermits, a star astrea, and a regular astrea.

I want to add only a few species of coral, but I'm still deciding what they will be. For sure, a frag of palau nepthea. It will probably look better under the pico lights than in my big tank. Of course the GSP floor. Maybe some blue snowflakes to cover one rock.
