3.7 Gallon Pico Reef

[JGon]

This is my 3.7 gallon pico reef. Been running for 10 weeks. Started with live sand and live rock. Currently have a small clownfish, royal gramma, 3 snails, and 2 hermit crabs. I do plan on moving the fish out into a 25 gallon tank I will be setting up soon. Feeding frozen mysis shrimp and phytoplankton. Water changes at 50% as needed. Testing parameters with salifert.

Tank is the Petco Imagitarium 3.7 Gallon Pro Deluxe.

Running filter floss, chemipure blue, and purigen in a media basket.

Hygger heater. Set to 76°.

Upgraded return pump.

Upgraded light to a Kessil A80. Runs on a timer for 7 hours.

Mostly zoas, a hammer, candy cane, and a birdsnest.

Thank you! It was between this one and the Fluval Spec III. Went with the 3.7 because I liked the back chamber setup better.

Looks great, kessil lights make Pico tanks so much cooler looking.

Fantastic Pico. That Kessil is perfect for the tank, Tuna Blue right?

nice any updates??

Thank you! Yes. Updates. My birds nest isn't doing too well. I thought I had enough flow for it but I guess not. Added the smallest return pump I could find and put it at its lowest setting pointed at the birdsnest. We'll see if that works. I didn't expect it to make it anyway. It was 10 bucks and figured, why not. I'll try it. Now I wanna save it. Lol. Also added more snails.

Update:

Moved coral around and got new coral as well. My birds nest didn't make it. Got a NY Knicks torch for half off because it was damaged when it was being fragged. Also a super tiny Flaming Prawn Goby. Haven't seen it since putting it in the tank. I read they hide a lot, so hopefully I'll see it soon and get a picture. Will be setting up my 25 gallon peninsula in the next month. Excited about that.

Looks like a neat little tank, keep it going.

That looks awesome. The corals look great. Do you do any dosing?
