Used to have a 10g Nano in the United States. Now back in Sg, starting a Pico tank. First time under Sg weather so might be challenging. Bros do kindly advise.

Pic of tank running for 3 weeks.

I suck at scaping so any advise would be appreciated. The dragon eye zoa was given by one friend, to test test if it is ready for corals. Dragon eye boomz for 3 days, the little ones mixed in there is opening up, not as big though.

Haven't fixed on the corals i want, so would welcome some recommendation or suggestions from bros too. Thanks!

Your scapings nice bro :thumbsup: got nice places to put zoanthids and other soft corals

But you may want a fan or a chiller for your tank. Zoanthids melt at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, and Singapore weather fluctuates to slightly above that sometimes

Temp is tricky. I sleep with the a/c on at night. So in the day with the fan on and a/c off, it is around 28-29C. When I have my a/c on at night, I turn off the fan to minimise evaporation and drastic drop in temp, so it drops to 27C. Is 27C to 29C too big a fluctuation?

Thanks Admiraltian, do you have any suggestions for corals?

Bro barnacle, where to view your tank pics? And what corals you have? I am not running a skimmer. 16L, was told regular wc will do.

Getting a few more zoas from a Bro here, will update once added. What about frogspawn? Is it too risky for a pico?

It could sting other corals if not enough space is given in between.

Gotten some new corals, lifestocks and lighting. Setup a refugium.

Here is a rare FTS that shows most of lifestocks (except inverts)
