Brett’s Pico Vase

[brett_schn]

It’s time for a new build for me while saving money for another project! Had some spare parts laying around so decided to do a little pico vase.
Parts list
Light- Par38 full spectrum
Tank- some vase I grabbed out of my moms cabinet... (don’t show her this...)
Flow- will be using an Amazon special 50w pump.
heater- no heater don’t need one here

let’s see how this goes. Waiting on the pump to come tonight so tank may be wet tonight.

The tank is wet!!
I need to go get some export for the rocks and the tank needs to clear but I think this will be a cool build! Picking up some frags this weekend so I might frag some new zoas and stuff to put in the tank!

Hey a perfect lid for that to slow evaporation is an inverted garden dish clear plastic lid from wal mart they set potted plants in, garden section, inverted it will rest just inside the top lip /

nice setup, certain to work great w that light

That's really cool I can't wait to see how it progresses!

Thank you! It’s bright alright. I’m used to an ai prime and t5s. The t5s appear dimmer to the eyes then this and obv the ai prime is brighter

Thank you! Figured it would be a cool little zoa garden or ric garden or something. Because the tank I want is expensive

I'll be following this thread! I love vase tanks, I hope to set one up myself at some point.

Hahah true. I’m 17 and have $1300 into my 40g so far it’s 3 months old.
I want a 4ft or 5ft tank now that I have room. Probably going to go with a 80g deep blue rimless. Not sure yet though

 

[40g Nano]

I want a 100 or 120
