Hi everyone,
I am really interested in starting a pico reef tank. I have been looking at 5 gal tanks to buy. I have read some very successful stories on AA. Some that started with the fluval chi. I just went to PetsCo and saw this fluval spec. I wanted to get some thoughts on it.
My goal is to only have a few corals and a Small CUC...tbd once cycled. I would like live sand and live rock to be the filtration.
The spec has a filter in it. I'm thinking that will actually be a bad thing because I don't think it's made for saltwater and I think it will rust.
I also found this tetra 5 g starter tank at Walmart. It too says it has a filtration, but I don't see it in the picture. This tank looks pretty good to me since its basically a blank canvas.
I intend on adding a power head as well as purchase LED lights. Not sure which yet, I'll consider it more as I get going.
What do you guys think!?
