Starting my new pico!!!

[thanh386]

Tank - 10x10x10 rimless( about 4.4 gallons)
Flow - MP10 ( assuming its not too much flow)
Filtration - I am not sure if it's possible but I am going to try to go without one for time being.
Lighting - AI sol nano with controller
Monitor - APEX Lite ( most likely overkill cause I am using it to only monitor ph and temp)

Livestock plans
Pair of platinum clown fish
Pair of hellfrechi firefish ( I might not go with these guys if I get all the amonomes I plan)
Rainbow, flame tip, and lemonade amonomes)

Coral plans
Chalices, zoas, mushroom( rics and yumas includes)

Let me know before you kick that mp10 on and i'll come catch everything that gets blown out of the tank!!

10"x10"x10"+vortech+ anemone = bad idea

Anemone and that small of a footprint with an open faced powerhead is a bad combo. Only way I see this working is constant attention but it would take less than an hour from things to go from great to dead.

Bad temper + glass box = bad

Cleaning up the water and glass now. Better the pico than my main I guess.

Where are you plumbing that huge MRC calcium reactor on that thing

Bought another tank and moved from original location.

Everything hooked up according to plan, except the mp10. Even at lowest settings it still cleared the sand from the front. I am using the koralia nano 425 atm. Even that's pushing sand aside.

With the rise in pico popularity, Ecotech needs to make a vortech for them. I hate the koralias profile. Takes up too much space

Looking good man!!

haha yea i know ive been doing picos for a while now i posted on ecotechs page telling them they need to make a mp5 or an mp 2.5 lol if that koralia nano 425 is still too much for you try a zoomed 104 its not made to be a powerhead but it pumps just enough water for a pico this size
