    My 3g Pico

    Don't know if anyone has seen El Fab's Sexy Pico on nano-reef but I'm thinking about posting a forum on here about the progress of my JBJ 3g Pico. What do you guys think?

    The tank is already cycling and some upgrades should be here Saturday unless Fedex wants to hurry up!

    Below is the link to El Fab's Pico, I'm not guarenteeing that mine will look anything like that! I don't have that kind of money to put into a 3g tank.

     I love it. Yes

    It's amazing what can be done in such a small space.

     This photo is so nice. I want to start a pico tank for work now. Big Smile

     thanks for someone finally commenting on this!

     

    Running into a little problem fitting my new 36W PC light on the tank. The legs they sent with it just aren't tall enough...

    Upgraded 36W PC light        $50

    Modified AC70 refugium        $50

    totally agree, anyone can setup a 500gallon tank but it really takes some still to go that small and have everything work. 

    Again, great job. Yes
