Hello All,
After studying abroad to Australia and diving in the GBR, and seeing my mom's coworker with a Picotope on her desk, to knowing that I wanted to get into reefing atleast a year ago, I finally did it. I purchased a Three gallon Picotope from Marine Depot and got about 5 lbs of LR and 4 lbs of LS. I have gotten some critters including a pom pom crab and emerald crab along with a Firefish (I saw his cousin while I was diving on the GBR). I just purchased a AC70 filter to throw on the back and turn into a fuge. Now I am in debate for what type of lighting to up grade to. I have narrowed it down to two models one LED other PC.

I am leaning to the LED product cause less heat. Right now there is no Coral or a clam. I'd like to get those in the future. But let me know what ya'll think and here is a link to my tank pics.
