Starting up 3G Pico again!!!

[1snapple]

Looks good, remember to get a small emerald crab, mines awesome, he hides under a frag during the day and when you move he tries to fight you with his claw

I think 5 hermits a good number to along with 4 snails.... not sure the type.
My light is a little brighter then yours but your light will work well for zoas and such.
Keep us updated on it. Remember that the vida rock get's coraline algea just like the normal LR
if you get vida rock there are a ton of options.

these 3g tanks r so much fun. My goal is to keep a clam in one with T5. Or like completly cover the whole tank with zoas or shroom and make like no rock showing. That would be golden.

ya, my plan to, it would also be awesome to get a dead fungia skelton and get 3-4 different types of zoas to populate it so you just have a disk of zoas. thats what i will do in the DT soon.
These tanks are pretty awesome, my next coral i think will be zoas, a Lobo, then a torch.

 

[blackjacktang]

i have heard of poeple getting dead SPS coral skeltons and growing zoas on them

 

[1snapple]

im doing that to

It's not a very big dead SPS but i have my smallest zoas on it so it should have hundreds on it, all really green. The zoas on it now are hulk zoanthids

 

[blackjacktang]

250w 20000k MH on the 3g tank haha its not all that bright cuz its a 20k

[blackjacktang]

sweeeeet, i might have to get this later but thats awsome! Thank you very much!

 

[blackjacktang]

it clearedd!

 

[1snapple]

awesome, finally,
how high are you going to have your water level?
It's important to know so you know just how much RO/DI to use to refill for evaporation.

 

[blackjacktang]

About the height it is now. I made a mark were the water level is to refil the water after evap happends. I have notice many thing can go wrong esily with these thing because of there small size so i gotta be careful with some things. How can you tell if a PC light has gone out?
