looks great! I'd love to see your 3g. I'm still working on my 2.5 but you can check it out if you like. the tread is called"pictures at last"
thanks for sharing!

dixiegirl21191 · 04/15/2013, 09:38 PM

Thank you! I will check it out. Here's my pico, I'm not sure I'm going to set it back up once I get to el paso though. I may hold on to it in case I change my mind.

They look real nice

puffin04 · 04/15/2013, 10:44 PM

They look awesome! I always admire people that can keep the nanos!

Thank you both! My pico is way harder than the 10. Levels fluctuate so much and evaporation is crazy. I'm surprised my inverts are doing so well in the little one.

squishifishi · 04/16/2013, 10:04 AM

what is the pico stocked with?

dixiegirl21191 · 04/16/2013, 11:31 AM

A bicolor blenny
Cleaner shrimp

Misc zoas

squishifishi · 04/16/2013, 10:31 PM

very very nice. love them!
good luck moving btw

dixiegirl21191 · 04/16/2013, 11:42 PM

Thanks. I've only got about 60 days until we head that way. I'm so anxious to just get it over with. It seems to be going by fast but going by slow at the same time. Hopefully my trip home to Florida next weekend will help it go by a little faster. I just want to get there, get all of my tanks set up, and become a legit/contributing member of the club!

pnavarro170 · 04/17/2013, 09:02 AM

I had a nano. well 27g. number one thing i recommend on nanos is a auto top off.

dixiegirl21191 · 04/17/2013, 10:14 PM

Its not really that big of a deal, I'm home all day so I top off as needed. It only becomes a problem when we go out of town. I just slowly top off when I come home. I am going to be getting a top off for the upgrade though.

pnavarro170 · 04/18/2013, 10:27 AM

jbj has a new nano top off, not expensive at all.

jtinoco · 04/18/2013, 07:23 PM

Here is the 2.5g Pico I had years back. Not the greatest but I loved it!

stvguerrero · 04/29/2013, 01:24 PM

Even small tanks look bad a$$

Canelo · 04/29/2013, 04:56 PM

What lights you guys use on the nanos?

Canelo · 04/29/2013, 04:57 PM

I want to start 1. Do the lights they sell at petsmart work for corals?

hEcToR1520 · 04/30/2013, 04:36 AM

iphone pic of mine after I had just set it up. It started life as a fluval edge. It is getting turned into a freshwater planted tank and the 20g is turning into a mantis tank. I used to have a nice 10g freshwater tank a few years back, I miss it

egq · 04/30/2013, 10:56 PM

what is that plant that you have on the floor? also would you frag it? if so how much

hEcToR1520 · 05/01/2013, 11:42 AM

If you're talking to me, that tank is long gone. It is commonly known as dwarf baby tears or HC for short. It is a very cheap, hardy and beautiful plant. You can find them all over the plantedtank forum or if you want nursery grown eBay has tons of them

pnavarro170 · 05/01/2013, 10:15 PM

No fresh water !!! Lol

egq · 05/01/2013, 10:27 PM

haha sorry... i have 2 saltwaters working on the third... but i cant forget my cichlids

pnavarro170 · 05/19/2013, 04:23 PM

My girlfriend wants to set up a nano, maybe even a 5g pico. Hmmmm whats a another anemone option for a tiny clown to host that isnt bubble tip ?? i know they dont usually host condys right ??

FASTnDIRTY · 05/19/2013, 05:53 PM

As soon as I sell my other stuff I am reinvesting in a 5 gallon pico tank from ecoxotic... Looks pretty cool...
