Jeramy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That is awesome thank you for sharing it with us =) Very creative with the soap dish fuge area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefang Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thank you! I was trying to figure out a relatively inconspicuous way to get some chaetomorpha in the tank, since there is minimal filtration. Weekly waterchanges work, but I am still seeing a tiny bit of phosphate. I saw this soap holder at bi-mart, and bam it hit me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Cute little pico! I love the look of rimless cubes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Love the little pico:) I've started a nano show refugium, and have been able to find some gorgeous red and purple macro algaes that would look great in a picotope like yours. Your aquascape is also quite refreshing...less is more! Good work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tat2d Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I saw this in person the other day. It's awesome. I'm having a really hard time not setting up the extra ten gallon I have in the garage now. BTW, thanks for the freebies Paul! They opened up within 20 minutes of putting them in the tank. I'll get some pics up as soon as I have a free minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefang Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Cool I am glad that they are doing well for you. I ran down to The Nautilus over in Springfield, and managed to snag up a nice little green Florida Ricordea, and am anxious for it to relax a bit so I can take some pics. They also had a really nice rock covered in Yumas that I really wanted, but I don't have space for at the moment. Elos needs to hurry up and send me my Mini!

onefang Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 since I am a bit of a pic whore.. here's another few Frilly mushroom - hermit really wanted to be in the picture too Ricordea - still acclimating. I noticed that it actually has a baby that it's splitting off as well. Score!
