Alright well I thought I would update with a few pics, still getting things settled and what not but here it is for the time being. The lighting will be a panorama pro 12k white/445nm and a magenta/445nm stunner strip(should be here soon). We plan to somehow put them into the existing fixture.





And now full:)

Pico tanks have always fascinated me because they can be so artistic, a lot like keeping a bonsai tree. Nice job on the scape here too!

Thanks guys! I love pico tanks for the same reason Billy, you get to be creative to make it look so good for something so little.

I filled the back chambers with live rock and a bag of carbon and gfo then I have a piece of filter floss on the top to Polish it.
