was planning to put all 3 rock flowers into... my new 4 gallon AIO pico build! however I mistakenly put the orange one on my rock and it dug itself deep into a crevice and refuses to step out.

I shall post a new build thread for the pico and I have lots of pics ready to go.
the idea for this tank is to house a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp. I've always wanted a pair but have a bare bottom on this 14g.


one of my Jebao SW-2 powerheads is dying I think. the propeller spins the right direction but it's not pushing any water out the front. I have tried taking it apart and cleaning it but that did not help. I may do a vinegar soak just to see what happens. as I have 2, I swapped the cables around and have confirmed that its the actual pump head that is acting up. the store I bought them from is having a sale on them so I will pick up another.

sneak peek of pico build. this is an acrylic float switch holder, recycled the acrylic from my Eshopps Eclipse overflow box hole drill template.

are there preferred nano powerheads out there? I'm also contemplating getting a Nero and using it for now, and transferring it over to my 75 when that's set up.

That's awesome!

yea, I love the pattern, and the orange leg fur lol
