  • Pico Reef gone Wild (Pictures)

    I have started my pico 1/2 gallon cookie jar reef. If you want to start your own, it only cost ~20$. I found a nice 1/2 gallon cookie jar at bed bath and beyond that works great(12.99), then i went to ikea and found a solar 10 W Led pendant (9.99), as for flow i have taken apart my 10 GPH aqua quiet filter and used just the motor and placed it on the side and super glued it (1.99). I would post picture but its too complicated, message me if you want pictures. It's fun and at the same time you don't lose you wallet doing it.

    My plan right now is to have some low light mushrooms and zoas, and one Coral band shrimp.

        Wow. This sounds novel and interesting! Maybe you can upload pics to a picture-sharing website like photobucket and just post the link? It's not too hard to post pics on here once you do it the first time.

            Here are some pictures, http://s1272.photobucket.com/

            i have water circulating right now and it has great flow, im excited to get some corals in there, they will love the movement. Lighting is at 10 watts, I feel like im pushing the limits on lighting but it gets the job done, also looking to get a blue light buld/led

                        Metal + saltwater? Not scared of rusting?

                          +1 I might reconsider the metal. perhaps just suspend the light?

                            I might look into it, so far im keeping it. I do have a desk lamp that is good too but its 15 watts or 40 lumens.
