Ultra pico challenge!

[dingusplease]

Hello, my good friends

I had an idea for a new thread. To promote the idea of nano reefing in general, we should create a thread devoted to the smallest tanks possible. Of course, most of these aren't legitimate stockable builds, but they don't have to be!

Anyways, post your favorite "Ultra-Pico" tank pics here, along with a few details if you feel like it.
Anything less than 0.25 gallons is fair. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

To start this off, here is a 20-drop extreme pico build, with an led lighting system, real live rock, sand, and water from my 3g reef. It took 3 hours to set up with glued-in rock and custom light fixture.

Looking forward to it

Looks really cool! I just used a little sand, water, and LR rubble from my main tank. What did you use?

 

[10gal_nano]

Tiny amount of sand, water, and a small live rock with I think a small zoa on it. All from my ten gal nano

I love the ultra pico look . I've always liked small, compact ecosystems that are miniscule yet complex. It's why I started a pico reef.

How did you light it? I used an led small desk lamp that was in my garage

I used a marina clip on led light from an old FW tank.

Here it is!

Nice! Lol just wondering, do you have any plans for it? I see you have a zoa in there... If you really wanted to you could take out like a few drops every day and replace with tank water. So the zoa opened up under your lamp? That's so cool!

 

[10gal_nano]

Yep. I might put it back in my tank. I didn't see it when I put the rock in. I have a different rock to put in it.

 

[10gal_nano]

I will make another in this

Yeah, I don't think I'll be keeping anything in a tank this small either. It does look cool just for a day or two though

Here's the newer setup

Nice builds sorry I haven't really been posting on this thread
