Cierra's 3G Pico, PICTURES!

[Cierra1985]

First off, a big ol' HIDIHO to everyone who doesn't know me yet! I have been putting together a 3g pico. You can view my construction blog here (lots of pictures!):

Cierra's 3G Pico Setup, Construction Phase!

Just to get everyone on the same page, I bought a clam reciently and everyone was saying "You need more light blah blah blah, nitrates, too fast..." Everything in my tank was "living" at the start, live rock, live sand, live filtering, even live water. I did have 18 watts (6w/g) on my 3g pico, but as of today I have 48watts (16w/g)! Wait until you see the pics of this! So GHETTO! And no, my corals are not cooking, the temperature has actually dropped from 82F to 80F (the 18watt light got really hot!).

I know that the pictures alone won't show you the major difference in appearance, so let me just say, my corals have AMAZING color now. OK, enough with my yappin' (blah blah), please leave comments, tell me whether my aquarium looks ghetto or not?

Looks pretty...


This is about as close as I can get with my digi-cam.

Thanks for lookin'!
