restarting the pico...

[BIGgourami]

i've decided to re-set up my pico tank..

should i use a 2.5 or a 1 gallon?
the 2.5 is just a regular AGA tank, and the 1 is a Deco tank but the light for it broke..

should i just spring for a 4-6 gallon JBJ, BioCube, etc tank? or an eclipse?

finnex makes and AMAZING looking 9 gallon.. but im really looking for something smaller

anywho.. any tips? i put the aquaclear 20 on there (that i thought was dead) and the flow doesn't seem to unreasonable.. im thinking i'll go with that

some live rock, few hermits (maybe just one electric blue or something) zoos, shrooms...

any suggestions?

requests? lol

hmm.. crud i should have probably put this in the general salt section... mods? if you don't mind..

or if it's not a problem.. i intend to take alot of pics anyhow...

id get a 3 gallon deco tank. http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/215662/product.web

thats the one i want for a pico tank

 

[BIGgourami]

the one gallon i have is the sme as that.. just a third the size..


the light broke off where it connects to the tank, so it's basically worthless unless i want to duct tape it to the tank... which would kinda defeat the 'deco' part of the deco tank

yeah that would defeat the deco part. do what i used to do. get a plastic bin with a desk lamp over it and call it "home-made deco"

Do a 6 gallon nano and call it a day. Filtration and lighting with moonlights all in a simple package.
