I have that tank! The og light was crap but I put an LED nano light on it. The filter is not too good. The pads never got clean. I ended up using a bag of charcoal and a handful of floss. I still didn't really have enough filtration so I moved everything to a 5.5 standered tank.

Here's the light. I would also suggest a hydor pico 180 power head That light is great. It's not really blue enough for my taste but it works well. My zoas and my hammer are happy

That's the tank I just started as a pico. Grab a koralia nano powerhead and a par38 bulb, and your done.

looks great but does not look good enough for birdsnest i dont really like having limits on what coral can go in the tank and the cheapest way looks like a par 38 unless there is something i dont know about

It's a pretty cool little tank though. Mine wasn't sealed the plastic to the glass in the back so I siliconed it

sorry for being so confusing i gave up on the cadlight if you have to replace so much i decided to go with a petco tank with similar design features

Have you bought lights yet? If not I would recommend a par38, otherwise you could do a fixture like 10gal recommended. There is a version of that fixture that has 3w leds, and it would support more coral in this tank IMO.

Par38 didn't really work out for me. Love this though.

I chose the beamswork for price, size, looks, the switch!, and a story. Saw a beautiful 8 gal!

Sorry didn't make it very clear, the one I linked to is similar to your's 10g but has 3w leds. Both look like good cheap options for picos though.

 

[clayjay144]

i have not purchased it but am most likely getting the rapid led par 38 just kinda paying off some of my new 75 gallon that was a christmas present for myself
