I think I am going to start the tank with the stock filter and I find I need more filtration I can always replace it

You honestly don't think that the filter and lighting is enough. Like I said I am just doing some soft corals and mushrooms.

Oh cool maybe I will start the tank out with some Xenia than since my LFS sells it for cheap. Based on the corals that I am planning on keeping doing you think I really need the 60 watt lighting for my tank? Does anyone have experience keeping marine plants or macro algae in pico aquariums?

Oh I really like your Xenia but doesn't it grow too fast in your tank? do you run a fugue mod on your tank or a powerhead for extra flow?

Well I am glad to hear that people like the system because It was the only nano tank I could find in my price range and I was afraid that might mean it's quality would suffer. The stock light on the JBJ is a 9 watt led setup. So three watts per gallon. I think I am going to get the crushed...

Hey guys so I have decieded to start work on what will be my second aquarium. Currently I have a 72 gallon reef aquarium and after making money from a summer job I have decieded to try my hand at a pico aquarium. I am hoping to keep this tank within a budget of 150$ dollars not including corals...

The tanks light isn't too low and I do plan on building a bio-co2 reactor when I finish setting up the tank, my current light is a 15watt 8000K bulb. I was planning on dwarf sag but my girlfriend has it in her tank and I have found it tends to grow in a cone shape. I am trying to stick with...

Okay thats great because I thought the gravel would detract from the general appearance of the tank but I didn't want my plant being unable to form a good root structure. I know it is a floater I was hoping to do that in addition a lawn plant. I was thinking about doing glass shrimp but cherry...

Hello all, so My dad set up a 10 gallon ornamental fish tank for my brother despite his protests that he wanted me to help him with the project. I had limited experience with planted tanks at the time and a 72 gallon reef tank. unfortunately I was muscled out of the project on the basis...

So what kind of aquascaping do you find the CPOS look best/feel most comfortable in?

Alright so maybe I will give that a try. I guess I am just a little out of my comfort zone.

So eventually the population would outgrow the size of the tank if they are they kept in a well planted enclosures?

I don't really see my self getting into selling crayfish. Don't get me wrong I would appreciate the extra cash but it may be more trouble than it's worth. Just a personal opinion and nothing is set in stone till I see eggs lol. Are marimo balls the same thing as normal algae balls? I think I am...

Alight well thats reassuring. I am just wary of that kind of thing when it comes to any species that breeds in captivity. So how exactly do CPO breed? Are the eggs cast into the water column? Can the babies be raised in the presence of adults? Can they be feed the same food as the adults or do...

Yeah I guess that makes sense. The problem is going to be finding a store that takes them every time I bring them not just once.
