Nice. :smokin: Nano's in my experience practically take care of themselves, so I can imagine the simplicity of the pico is pretty much the same. Look'n good.

what kind of fish is that in the pico and why are you putting a fish in such a small tank?

poor fish what a small space for him. If that is not atleast a 5 gal tank I would take the fish out. or trade him out for a very small gobie.

the light is a 7w 50/50 that i replaced the original bulb with

yes, the new project is now the fishs new home, in the 5g glass bowfront, the fish is Tiny so im sure that he will have plenty of room in this tank, if not he can just go into my nanocube.

anyway ill post pics of the new project today, i set it up yesterday and now the water has cleared, everything essentially should already be cycled (lr from the pico already established, 4pounds new ls, 1 pound seeded ls, all the water came from the nanocube yesterday and i put in another 4.3lbs of marshal island premium cured lr.)
