6g JBJ pico

[leonel619]

Had this tank sitting around empty so decided to go ahead and start a new tank. Going for a very low maintenance minimal equipment tank. Just rock sand and flow.. don't want to invest too much in this tank because i know sooner or later ill be upgrading!

was first set up in stock form but decided to remove the filtration and lighting

current FTS coming soon...

... and here it is as it currently sits. pretty full but half of that macro is going into a friends tank. No specific plans on what will go in the tank. will throw in whatever i can find.

Thanks Jesse. It's drilled but not by me. I sealed it. Biological filtration only and have a par bulb like the ones they sell at HD lol mostly for the macros. I might change it later but I like the natural look.

TBT. Was browsing online and came across an old picture of my old pico macro tank. I thought I had erased all my photos but I guess someone saved a photo of the tank. Glad I found it!

I'm in love with this thing. Makes me wanna find a 6gallon jbj and do this!

Thanks. They are fun AIO tanks. Whenever I decide to break down this tank I'll be putting back the stock filtration and lights.

[leonel619]

gave the nano a bit of an overhaul. I removed a lot of the macros that where growing all over the place. Wanted a much more minimalist cleaner look. Also, I'm looking at maybe adding some blue lights just to add a bit more color.

Here's some September tank shots:
