    Great video! I've been watching quite a bit of your content lately.
    Looking forward to the next update. 🙂

    Fellow utah reefer here. Rustys is one of the best shops and ocd reefs. I just went to a 75g display and 25g sump. Everything is super happy. My 24k torch just popped another head

    Love this! There’s not a lot of new videos on pico tanks and I would love to start one. As a beginner this is incredibly helpful! Thank you 🥳

    Got the same tank. I put in a Sicce pump and second pump inside for flow. Need to keep the lid on though it will evaporate fast. Using Fluval nano sea light.
    Hope your tanks are doing well not an easy hobby

    Looking to start doing nano and pico reefs as well as nano planted freshwater tanks on a rack system - lots of variety.

      Niiiiiice! The smaller tanks are honestly so rewarding, and we get to focus on the detail 👌

    You didn't mention water changes or parameter swings at all. Picos are very susceptible to parameter swings and require consistently large water changes to export nutrients and replenish consumed alkalinity and or calcium

      Next episode in the series will cover that ☺️ what I did say is: make sure you know exactly how much water you have in the tank for dosing purposes. Even half a gallon off might mean you’re 30% off which would be huge 😢

      Correct, IF they are heavily stocked with either corals, inverts or fish. I lightly stocked pico is much less of a hassle. Fish, inverts and corals that need to be 'fed' produce much more ammonia than say, more photosynthetic corals.

    Where did you get that tank? I really like the size and shape of it.

      GloFish 3g comes with blue light. Marineland 3g white light. Same thing. It’s got super thick glass compared to your typical small tank.

      Awesome 💪 these come together so great after a few months. I’m using the same pump that the system came with! The only thing I bought extra were the light (kessil a360) and the heater

    What chemicals do you start with?

    • @tylerhuxford3440
      @tylerhuxford3440  6 місяців тому +1

      No chemicals 😬 not really a fan of dosing anything other than baking powder for alkalinity, a calcium supplement, and a magnesium supplement
