Pico aquarium consideration


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hi brothers,

I am setting up a pico 6 gallon aquarium in my office. Since it is a workplace, I try to avoid having too many pieces of equipment...

My plan is to keep zoas and mushrooms, and probably not more than small 3 fishes, and some crew cleaners.

What would be a good way for maintain optimal parameters beside doing weekly water change?

Should I rely on dosing bacteria? or should I have a hang-on filter with some bio-media?

Regards,
Jeff

Aquarium: 48" x 18" x 24" tank with 24" x 15" x 15" sump (approx. 150 gallons)
Equipment: Maxspect Razor 320W, Vortech MP40, Vertex Omega 180i, Eheim 1262 return pump, Hailea HS 66A, Bacteria King
Fish and coral food: Henry's Reefgourmet pellets, Preis coral energizer, Kent Marine PhytoPlex, Brightwell Reef Snow, Two-Little Fishies Marine Snow
Dosage: Triton Elements

I would throw $50 into CF's rocks and then get a surface skimmer on a hang on back filter and keep what you described. No need carbon dosing. Too small to make a kick out of it. Youll probably get things out of whack more often than nought..

Happy Reefing,

Thanks bro. I was browsing some sites and came across planted marine aquarium. Look like an interesting concept...

Just dont know where to buy more uncommon macro algae.
