My new pico reef!
 

Hey there, just wanted to share with you all my pico reef that I just started a week ago.It's a 0.75 gallon Azoo aquarium, and it has some mushrooms, a candy cane, a zoanthid and a xenia.

First off Welcome to Canreef! Where are you from? :biggrin:

Secondly, cute tank :cool: Those things are so neat. I used to have one of those but the evaporation rate was incredible and I just couldn't keep up with it.

Christy :)

Hey Christy, Thanks! I'm from Victoria. The tank has only been set up for a week, but I bought a big bottle of water to keep up with replacing evaporation. :smile:

looks good, welcome to the board. Do you have a small power head or anything in that?

Steve

Hey, how come my post was moved?? :confused:
Thanks StirCrazy, no powerhead, all I have is the little filtering system that came with the Azoo kit. The little filtering system suprisingly gives a fairly strong current. Here is an updated picture (I just got a new desk lamp with a 50/50 compact fluorescent)

I guess, the Vancouver Island Reef club doesn't want me to join :cry:

The masked post mover must of struck, and the dummy forgot his "post moved" thingy.

ive seen this thread in about 4 diffrent forums now.

No, no its not that. You are most welcome to be part of the Vancouver Island Reefing Club :biggrin: , not that we have anything formalized but you may want to check out:

We mostly use those regional forums for arranging club events and stuff like that. Anything that is about our tanks and stuff is part of the reef forum.

Christy :)

Of course we do, we need you to make us complete!!

Seriously, the purpose of the regional forums is to organize meets, group buys, etc. When you post your cool little tank, we want everyone to see it, not just the Island folks!

so you're in, but you gotta send me a dollar. Just kidding :razz:

OOOOkay, it all make sense! I guess I have to do some "how to use forums" learning. Thanks people, I'm very new to using forum :biggrin: Sorry for the tear shedding.

No worries, none of us are real good at using this stuff, and we all cry every now and then. You're gonna fit right in.

I see you work at a fishy store? Care to share, or is it secret? :razz:

Wow that's such a great looking pico reef!

Nice work and welcome to Canreef :biggrin:

If your just starting out in SW then you may want to check out the Newbie and Nano forums, there's a ton of info in those two forums alone!

Do you have any inverts for the new cube, like a few hermit crabs or snails to help keep it clean. Goodluck and keeps us updated :biggrin:

so shoulden't it have been moved to the Nano section then :mrgreen:

Steve

um, ya. Oh well, I'm still practicing this moving stuff around

it seems there is a copy of the thread there as well.. this place is chaos tonite.. get out the hamsters! :eek:

I'm starting to worry about you and these hamsters.... :razz:

Hehe, I posted a few of the pictures in the nano reef forum and in the reefcentral forums as well, so, that was my doing. I don't have any inverts other than the coral, mushrooms and polyps (those are inverts as well, biology nut :lol: ) Hopefully in a few days, I'll be ready to put the crawly things in too.

As for which pet store I work for, I won't reveal quite yet, but I'm sure someone will figure it out very quickly. I'll let it linger for a little while.

That little pico reef is just like the one Cora sells......

I've also seen them at Petcetera :confused:

Welcome to Canreef, Nice nano!
What size bottle do you stock to keep that bad boy filled? :razz:

With spring temps like we've had, AG better get a 5gl bottle for those hotter summer months :mrgreen:

Hehe, right now I keep a 1.5L bottle and by the looks of it it might only last for two weeks (considering the weather doesn't get warmer). But I think next time I'll get a 4L or two.

I've only had this tank for less than a week, and my co-worker was very nice in helping me get started. This is actually a little project to help me get started in SW and Reef so I can help my co-worker in the SW section at the store.

Sorry, I don't work at PetCetera :razz: . Who is Cora? I've heard of her but I don't think I've met her :confused:

Well, Japarto sends lots of people here....maybe Safari then?

:biggrin: See I knew it wouldn't take long! My name is Andrea by the way, you've probably have seen me in the FW fish room! :wink:

Nice tank, and welcome to the board! :biggrin:

You'll probably find that the store you work at is well liked here!

You guys have a FW room? Wow! You may have seen me in the SW fishroom!

Haha, we do have a FW room! And I've heard of the name Brad here and there too from various customers, I guess you're well know too! I'm sure Japarto has pointed you out to me, but (I'm so embarassed) I can't remember which one you are. (There is so many of you :confused: ).

Thanks everyone for welcoming me to the forum, I'm having a lot of fun here :biggrin: Thanks again!

Do you have any updated pics of the whole set up? With new desk lamp, I just want to see what kind of lamp it is.

Hmm don't you look at both :mrgreen: although I don't recall a girl named Andrea working in the fish side.. maybe Japarto hired some one with out asking our aproval Brad :mrgreen:

Steve

he's the old ugly guy, kinda crepy looking just sits ther and stares at the coral. :mrgreen:

Oh by the way Welcome to the board.

Steve

:onfire: HAHAHA!!!

Hey everyone, just thought I'd update you with pictures! I just got some more zoos and two sexy shrimp (thanks rob!! :biggrin:) I think this little tank is max out :neutral: (All the more reason to get another tank :razz: )

This last picture is for outtafocus. AND DON'T LAUGH AT MY CANOPY OF A TOWEL, hehe. The lamp I bought at London Drugs, it's a Decor desk lamp, 60w. I chose this lamp because it is very flexible, it stands high enough and it sits right behind my filter. I wouldn't have had to put a towel around it, but the compact light sticks out too far (the darn thing :confused: ). Anyway, I kinda like it as long as it doesn't fall it to the tank and soaks up all the water.

Both Steve and Brad should know who I am since I've been working there since october! :confused: You guys and anyone else that comes by the store should say hi, I would like to put faces to the silliness.

Alright, keep the replies coming!

Andrea

October?? And you don't know us yet? sheesh. Have to talk to Japarto about customer relations there!! :razz:

you know me. I come in, look at the front tank, go stand at the SPS tank for a while, talk to Japarto, yap to customers, pet the bunnies on the way out, pretty much every saturday morning. Grey hair, tattoos.....

Here is are picture for the salmon king!

Okay, fine! It looked like a tea cozy, but.......looky, looky! :biggrin:

I got my BF to make me a canopy with coroplast I just so happen to have lying around! (It may not be the greatest job, but I really like it :razz: )
