WILLIAM1'S 2 gallon pico reef + Pics

[william1]

Ok how has everyone been? I am back with pictures and some info on the Aqueon tank I am using. First off let me say thanks to all the people out here that got me hooked.

Ok the tank I bought is an Aqueon Evolve2. $49.99+tax

2gallon with built in filtration. What I mean when I say built in filtration is that the tank has a chamber in the back the length and height of the tank. It is 2 1/4" deep where the water filters through a grate style overflow and passes through a filter pad. The water then flows over a small wall into the lower half of the chamber where it is pumped back into the tank via small pump name unknown. Not a bad little set up.

The light is a L.E.D. light with housing 20 bright white led's and 2 blue lunar colored led's. Which has been enough light to have Zoa's and soft low light corals. I plan on purchasing a new light but have'nt as of yet. The light has a three way waterproof switch for daylight, off, lunar. It really cant be hooked up on a timer but still is nice.

As of right now the tank heats itself via the pump in the chamber keeping a steady 74-76 degrees. And the tank is very quiet.

I have 10lbs of live rock, 1" sandbed and a very small 6 line a few hermits and some zoas. Ok sorry for the delay here are the pictures.

That's a nice little setup. Where did you buy the tank from if you don't mind me asking. I'm thinking about setting up one for my mom

What are your stocking plans? Just zoas and low light corals or are you going to change the light to put a variety of corals in there?

Ok I was thinking on some more led's I'm even thinking on some small DIY cree led block..

I would really like to be able to have some sps and zoa's. I think I will be looking for some rair pieces when I get to that point.
