Yep, we can use dead or live, I'm doing the same thing, dead sand and hopefully I can find some live rock or put a scoop of sand from my normal tank in there to get it going.

Do any of you have stuff accumulating on the surface of your picos? There is no surface agitation, I just wonder if this could turn into a problem.

btw the sponge is my dirty sponge from my big tank to get some bacteria in the pico

There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater,you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside.

Update on my pico: equipment: smart ATO micro (beast) and all equipment provided with the tank with chemi-pure in the filter and a sponge on the intake of the filter (don't want to suck up any seahorses)
Current livestock:2 male dwarf seahorses, 2 female dwarf seahorses, 4 small different mushroom corals, 2 snails, 1 tiny sexy anemone shrimp, 1 purple gorgonian, 6 different macros.
Tank is doing good all and all had some diatoms pop up, but no big deal.

Hello!!!!!

I will take a pic later tonight, I am cooking some dinner and gonna do a water change!

I had a question - is anyone getting coralline? I put some bits of coralline rock and shell in mine and it bleached and died slowly. I am wondering if the lighting is too weak, or flow maybe.

I severely trimmed my macros and it kind of messed up both my tanks, but they have since recovered, so that is good.

Alright guys, sorry for not posting many pics. Nothing has changed except I trimmed my caulerpa and then I got an algae bloom.

And my sea cucumber died last night (got sucked into the filter)

I just used a water bottle to skim the surface. I am just gonna put this in once in a while to skim the surface off. If I can find some suitable tube I might make a permanent one.

Quick Sushi! You still have an hour! Go see what kind of local stuff you can find at the tide Pools! Last time I was there there was a baby sea lion. It would be a species only and need to be upgraded as soon as the contest is over but nobody else would have one!

Sweet set up Dreamkeeper. Not a bare piece of rock and that stag horn hermit is cool. Let's see how it grows. How long is the "grow out" period?

Here is my JBJ-picotope with Clown Goby, Griessingei goby (Flaming Prawn Goby) and a staghorn hermit crab. It was a fun contest. This pico turned out to be one my favorite reef tanks.

Sorry for the delay, everyone still in the contest post some FTS we will hold a vote here on the boards 48 hours to vote than I will tally them up, I haven't heard back yet about the clownfish that where going to be prizes so I will tell you what, since my pico tank crashed due to work and other BS factors and I sold it to hector so he could bring it back to life I will provide a prize to the winner and runner up to make it worth it, the winner will get to pick one of 3 things and second place will get to pick something out of the remaining 2 items:
Colony of 20+ SCC sunrise Sakura Zoas, I have had these for about 2 years they are very hardy...
OR
A nice Fat frag of my beautiful ORA Red planet colony...
OR
A Single polyp of ASD Hyper Jubilee

Let's post those FTS and we will vote starting Friday morning at 00:01 and end Saturday night at midnight
Rules for voting:
Everyone on SDreefs gets one vote (yes you can vote for your own tank)
You can only vote for one of the people in the first thread that made it all they way through the contest not late contestants

Good luck!!!!

I like sushi's. The plastic bottle makes it look more realistic. Like I'm down at Coronado or Fiesta Island. Really has that natural, homey feel. Dreamkeepers looks too perfect. Like a screensaver or a magazine article.

I also like the way sushi's tank looks natural almost like a kelp field or something, but looking at dream keepers sand bed and how clean everything and happy everything is i have to vote for him, I know how hard these tanks are and his looks like a lot of work so I vote for dreamkeeper

Come on, no one else is in the damn contest? My tank looks like trash i didn't even clean the glass, I put my picture in for a joke!

I do not feel right "winning" second place just because no one else put their picture in. Come on!!

I am going to clean my glass and take a nice pic right now so at least you can see it's full glory.

I vote for dreamkeeper
