My Pico Reef Diary!

Alright after reading bennerklas and ninjafishes threads I wanted a small tank, and since it is takeing me forever to get my 10gal with 20gal sump going I thought what the heck. So I am at walmart and see a 1gal tank/pet carrier for 5 bucks and I have everything else I need to do it so I buy it. So now I have my lights, water, Live Rock, substrate, Hob on back filter converted to a fuge with a filter pad with carbon running through it right now all going and I am waiting for the tank to clear so I can touch up my aquascaping. So here are some pics for now I will add more when the water clears. Also can anyone give me a stocking list that contains anything besides zoos and shrooms.
:D

Do you mean like, what you have done to set it up or the pictures. Because if its the pictures i cant tell, but from what you have done so far it looks pretty good. You cant really keep any SPS or LPS because its such a small tank and a fish is out so I geuss an invert tank, I'd go with a cleaner and sexy shrimp

pics are good but the water is clowdy. i set one up just like it but i am upgraging to a 1.66 gallon hex. its easyer to fit a heater into the hex. is that salt water? if not you killed live rock. (i know that was a stupid question but its an important tropic). You are doing it good. it might clear faster if the filter/fuge was turned off. if it is off ignor the last statment.
Good job.

Alright here are some pics after it cleared up which went fairly quick even with the filter on. Yes it is saltwater thanks for checking though. I have seen tanks this size with zoos and shrooms so I think I will be able to at least keep those.
