ADA 30W pico

[hiimsean]

I picked up a pico ADA 30W, 3.5gallons, this week. I've been wanting to do another small tank, I thought my first 5.5g was super easy. I'm planning rock flower anemones and a few inverts, no fish or corals. So far I've got a 30par LED bulb but I may go a different route. I'm ordering a Aquaclear20 soon for filtration. I'm just gonna have an ATO to make tops offs easy. Here is the inspiration for my tank.

The ABSOLUTELY most fun tank I ever owned was a 6 gallon Fluval Edge which actually only held 4 gallons of water after live rock and substrate was added.

Smaller doesn’t make it less fun, it concentrates it

Also just put an order in for an Aquaforest Aquariums heater. It's about half the size of the Eheim and has an external temp controller.

I've almost exclusively used Ehiem heaters for their durability and great customer reviews, but for this little tank, the 25w is huge.



I think I'll get it filled up this weekend. I just need to find the right ATO. I'd really like to find a Tunze 3155 if I can find one for the right price.
