Pico reef

[Din Gior]

For last few months I have been plagued with an idea to setup a pico reef. A plan is to get nice looking tiny tank with mixed zoas/ lps corals and some inverts. An idea became more realistic since I picked up Fluval SPEC Desktop 2g about two weeks ago, so I decided to start this pico reef journal. I never had journal for any of my tanks, so I think it's good opportunity to start one.

and faster than you can blink your eyes, you will have the plague of upgrading to a bigger tank.....

I already have 34g and 120g, so I can enjoy bigger fish and corals there. I really want to try maintain stable reef in such small aquarium.

I have one piece of advice for keeping a tank that small looking amazing and thriving long term - 100% water changes. You will be amazed at how clean it looks and how healthy things stay

I set up my pico tank today, too. What are you doing for a light?

Thanks. 100% water changes sounds a bit scare, but I'll definitely experiment with water changes.

I'm not a big fan of LEDs, but it seems there are no many options available. Most likely I'll go for par30 or par38 bulb.
