    Interesting Pico and Nano Aquariums

    Yeah I thought about buying some Acrylic cuttings at Lowe's ,and building a 1 gal rectangle aquarium. I guess the biggest challenge is going to be getting some sort of filtration and lighting on something that small. Any suggestions on filtration? I will probably just buy a desktop lamp and put...

    Interesting Pico and Nano Aquariums

    Thank you guys for the generous comments! I will continue to mess around with nano and pico aquariums. I'm deciding what I want to do next, either a home built 1 gal or a JBJ 3 gal picotope? Feel free to suggest any other nano or pico tanks.

    My 30gal bow front.

    Yeah, I think if you build some caves or some sort of rockwall with crevices, the tank will look more full. I also have a feeling the shrimps will be competing a lot for food, so make sure you feed every single one. Besides that, awesome tank, and it looks good so far!

    I like the Red Spotted Goby, he looks really good. I probably will end up buying one of those. About the livestock list for the 10 gallon it is really overstocked: Brown Button Polyps Blue Spotted Mushrooms Purple & Green Favia Hammer Coral Red Blastomussa Merleti Ultra Symphyllia Coral Orange...

    Interesting Pico and Nano Aquariums

    The clownfish is a black saddeback clown and when he becomes a mature adult (4"-5") I may just give him back to my LFS. About the Catalina Goby, I know they prefer cool water since they are from Catalina Bay, CA but I don't have a heater in the tank and it stays about 72F - 74F. Do you have a...

    Interesting Pico and Nano Aquariums

    The background is a good idea, it would help some of the corals stand out more. The little clownfish in my 2.5 gallon is only about an inch in length, so eventually I may move him into the 10 gallon and buy a Catalina Goby for the smaller tank.

    Interesting Pico and Nano Aquariums

    I have had reef aquariums for several years, and I love a challenge. I decided to break down my 55 gallon and buy a 10 and 2.5 gallon aquarium. The 10 gallon has Home Depot "Light of America Flood Lights" over it, and the 2.5 gallon has 2 T-5's over it. I have had both of these tanks for over 6...

    One of the Best Mini-Reefs

    So recently I broke down my 55 gallon reef, and sold most of the livestock. I kept my rarest corals, and best pieces of liverock for my new 10 gallon super reef. I bought the tank, heater, etc... and set everything up in about 2 hours. For the lighting, I decided to save some money and build...

    New Breed of Mushrooms?!

    no, they're just brown button polyps. *** The mushroom is light green/aqua with small orange spots on it. Then on 2 of the sides there are small brown circle designs. I'll try to post up a good quality photo in a few days ***

    New Breed of Mushrooms?!

    I went to this fish store today and he was selling superman mushroom frags and other mushroom frags. I bought one and on the other side of the rock was a strange looking mushroom. I bought another one today from him, and he said he didn't know what species it was. It is light green/blue with...

    I recently bought a small Acropora for a really cheap price and noticed that the polyps were only covering some parts of the rock. Is there anyway that i could use a supplement to bring back the polyps and help them thrive. I already use Iodine, Strontium, and Magnesium in addition to the...
