Chrisl609's mini mixed reef (3g pico)

[chrisl609]

I set this up a couple of month's ago and everything is doing super good. The tank is a Cadlights 3g (http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=52&products_id=230) with the low iron glass. The light is an AI Nano that I bought with a little bit of cosmetic damage for cheap. The white bulbs were replaced with 4k bulbs also. It's got a Aquaclear 20 on it for filtration with some Chemipure Elite and a little bit of floss. The best investment for this tank was a JBJ auto top off to keep it stable.

Here are the pics:

I've got some zoas, LPS, a little SPS and working on a small mushroom garden. Only livestock is 1 sexy shrimp (needs a couple of friends soon) and a bunch of dwarf cerith snails to keep it clean. Pretty easy tank to take care of so far, a couple of 1g water changes a week.

Nice clean looking tank! Gonna be sweet when everything grows in!

Super clean!

Thanks for the comments everyone! Yes, I am excited to see how it looks once things start growing in. Some of the zoas have already had babies. The purple/yellow tip torch is doing really well in there. It struggled in my other tank and once I put it in this 3g it colored up and started getting full extension again. Too weird!

I think it was $25 or $29 @ Ikea. I searched for it but could only find the 4 shelf version which is $39.99. It is super stable too.
