My 2g pico set up today
The setup is Tom's Aquarium $35 w/shipping off eBay. Includes 13wt daylight & actinic lights, 80gph filter & lid. I used sand from my 25g. I wanted something little for the bedroom.......



My 25g which has been setup since November, but I added a lot of new rock today and took dwarf fuzzy lion back to the store for credit. After a month of running to the lfs for ghost shrimp twice a week, I'm done He refused to eat anything frozen and I tried cocktail shrimp too LOL Apologies for the awful pic!

This is my 12 gallon nano. I have 96 watts of power compacts and use a refugium for filtration.

5g hex,filter feeders:


10g brains tank and 5g hex:


Were joined in 20g long:



6g Nano-Cube, as it started:

Will not work without skimmer and micron sock in a long run, LR better to keep in the sump, after filtration - pores will not be clogged, less cleaning too.
6g NC now:



Has a sump/fuge behind with LR, as I described. Much better.
Will continue.

Continue:
10g now (no more 20g), with Christmas tree worms, baby Maximas and anemone, 72W PC and direct sunlight:

Top view, practically all tank.

Around 1g pico for sun coral, twice a week 100% water changes after feeding, old water from a bigger tank. It worked, but disassembled after 4-5 months.



If run out of space, 4g rubbermaid container will work too, had this for a few months:


Working on downsizing...

ok, sorry. that was pretty stupid of me. didn't work the way i thought it would. anyway, my reply or question was, the 5 gal hex, was that a simple tank you bought cheap? i notice the light you have over it, what is that? simple desk lamp?
