Another 3 gallon build

[kelloggreef]

After seeing all the threads of nano builds, I had to have one.Wish I had waited to buy aces tank, thats a good deal.Anyway, Its the Picotope 3 gallon with a coralife 50/50 36 watt light. I had to have the black sand but everything else came out of my 210 tank even the water. The rock came out of my refugium and is covered with feather dusters. Its been going for about a month now and the only trouble Im having is the heat from the lights. At night I add a heater and take it out during the day.Its a fun tank to have and water changes are cake, just a big glass of water every friday from the big tank and 1/2 cup of RO water a night for evaperation. Here are some pics.

you need to get a nimble nano for that thing i just so hapen to have one thats a week old or you could just buy one from there website if you wind up getting my AC70 you can put your heater back there. thats where i kept mine. i also have a preset marine land heater thats preset to 76 ill sell if you want it fit in the ac70 perfectly. Looking good by the way

Whats this nimble thing tell me more

 

[ace1204]

its like a mini mag float, perfect for the small size of a pico, they have a bunch of different colors too.

The water movement is stock as is the filter.I would of thought flow should be better but everything is happy.

 

[kelloggreef]

Just added the ac70 that I bought from Ace. The flow is crazy. Im going to make it an acan frag tank.

so you have an anemone and a clam under PCs? did i read that correctly? please tell me your secret!

 

[kelloggreef]

Its acually alot of light for as small as it is.The clam is real happy and the anemone has moved around to find his spot. He seems to be fine though.

its a 3g tank...lol

It's a really nice setup though.

Size does not matter its the motion of the ocean:yes:

 

[gtkolenko]

Do you have you AC70 filter running just as stock filter or as a fuge? I wanted to beef up my filter on my pico and got the ac70 from what I saw on the Pico section of Nanoreef.com

nice

 

[dagtaggart]

any nitrate problems with two fish in such a small tank? i wanted to get a pico but was discouraged because i was told i couldn't put more than a small damsel in it.

 

[kelloggreef]

I took this tank down awhile back and put everything into my 210g display.

 

[atlweb]

Pico for sale by any chance?
