2.5 gallon pico reef?

[Loukas42]

Nice. I have no clue what corals I want either. I'm still not even sure what size tank I want haha. Either between like 2-5.5 somewhere around there's maybe. I don't even know :/

 

[Loukas42]

Zactheninja how is your tank and everything doing?

 

[Zactheninja]

I got the light today.
The tank looks awesome.
Lots of evaporation, but everything seems okay.

 

[Loukas42]

Post some pics! I wanna see that bad boy! And how much evaporation are you talking about?

 

[Zactheninja]

Sorry that took so long but here's it after two weeks

 

[Loukas42]

No problem at all! How do you like it?

 

[Zactheninja]

It's amazing.
One of my favorite tanks.
Did you ever decide to get one?

I think I want the jbj 3 gallon pictotope but I'm eatin for my birthday on the 25th.

 

[Zactheninja]

That seems like a good way to go

Hi guys, I'm in the same boat! I would be content with just a few cleaners and a small crab and/or star fish, but I would like to get a fish or two in it.

Here is mine (this is not my set up, but its the same tank I am prepping)

I wouldn't put a fish in a tank that small. Some cool inverts and soft corals would be nice.

 

[Zactheninja]

Hehe. I put a fish into mine.
Happy to say the tank is cycled.
I've had corals in for a week or two and they're growing great under the light I put on it.
I picked a scooter blenny :3
He's awesome.
(and he eats brine)

Heres a couple pictures of my Aqueon Evolve 8. Everything on it is from the stock setup. I've got a mushroom coral and a leather toadstool coral plus a mis-bar percula clown and a couple hermits.

How long has the tank been set up?
And how long have the rocks been covered like that?

 

[Huffers]

This tanks been set up for about a month. I didn't have to cycle as I used live rock from another established system and natural seawater.

Two of the rocks have always had a lot of hair algae on them. Occasionally I have to clean them but most of the time I leave in on there. Hermits seem to love it.

 

[Zactheninja]

You could try alittle emerald crab, he'd love to take care of that for you. Might get alittle big for your set up though .-.

Yea I thought about it but the most ill prolly end up doing is add a couple more blue leg hermits. They seem to do an adequate job actually
