Scuba in a reef nano tank...

[mikeguerrero]

With an ear infection keeping me out of the water this weekend, I pulled out my reef keeping skills and put together a pico reef tank in my room... At only 1 US Gallon she is very tiny, but cute...

Enjoy the video...


Here are the parts to the system...

Simple, yet very effective additives for a pico...

AC20 is awesome for waterflow on a pico...

Very small but she makes an impact where ever she sits...

That's great, I have never seen such a small aquarium. Where did you buy it and how much was it? Looks like you had some fun putting it together. Any plans for any fish in it?

Hi Alex,

I've been an avid reef keeper for a very long time and thus went to a nano after I got the experience...

You cannot sustain a nano without such experience effectively...

I plan on placing the rare Catalina goby in this aquarium which is from our coast line, it is the only fish that I can place, if I keep my temps down..

The rest of the corals and polyps are from Indonesia and the Philipines...

Just awesome to have a California goby with warm water corals...

How are you going to keep that fish if you aren't running a chiller on that tank? You know as a temperate water fish, it won't survive warm temps.

The Catalina goby will live as long as I keep the temps up to 77 degrees... I've been a avid reefer for over 20 years and have taken first prize on many events world wide... I do know which species are adaptable to the reefing world, but I do thank you for making other non experienced reefers aware of such facts...

One of my tanks the Pico, took first prize for tank of the summer 2005... It was this tank that was featured in a European Reef Magazine...

Here is the picture of my tank that took first prize...
