My first pico 1gal.

[david4039]

I have decided to start my first Pico tank. I started being interested in these when I saw a couple threads on RC. One being ninjafish's pico and the other being mikeguerrero's Pico. I had my 1 gallon glass beta tank, and when I saw mike's pico I just had to give it a shot. SO, I have the following:

1) Super Curved Betta Tank+ (made by Ocean Free)- $20.00
2)AquaClear 20- $20.00
3)9" 2x 9W Coralife Mini Aqualight CF hood- $48.85 (shipped)
1x Actinic and 1x 10,000K
4) 10 lbs. LS (used about 5lbs- 2'')- $22.00

I am still working on finding an appropriate heater. I will be adding Live rock soon. I still need to find a good heater to use. I tried to use a 25w, but this one was too long for the tank. I really like the one that mikeguerrero had, but I can't find it anywhere. I will try to add some pictures soon. Let me know what you all think

Welcome to Nanotank David! :welcome

Sounds like you are off to a good start! How much live rock are you planning on using? Can't wait to see the pictures

Thank you for the welcome I am thinking of using 1-2lbs. I'm sure it will be close to 2lbs. after adding frags of stuff. Anyone know where to find a good submersable heater for this?

Best bet is to find what Mike used, seeing as to how it worked for his setup.

did you already get some live rock?, because if you didnt you should probibly actually go to a shop(very little cure tme) gl!
