This is a 5g Marineland. Not sure if this is consider a Pico.

Is that the 5 gallon marineland contour? I almost got that one because of the space I had... but of course I had to go bigger!!

My pulsing xenia is the only coral not doing that great. It's right in the center if you can't see it.

Also I have two Neon Red Gobys, well one I think. Either he's so small I can't find him for a couple of days or the Fire shrimp ate him. What do you think?

Wow loaded with SPS!

I think from now on anything else I add to the tank will be Sps. They are growing fast

Here, I got one for you. I'm new to aquariums in general and currently maintaining the 5g fluval that sits on my mom's work desk. Naturally, she wants to load it up with all the corals I show her. "Like that one," was the reply I got when I showed her your tank.

What would you say is the most important aspect of keeping a tank like that? Is your setup high-tech and mostly automated, or do you just do regular cleanings and water changes?

Thanks

Water changes and tank stability is key

I love picos! I made a 5.5g AIO around 10 years ago. I still have the tank but it isn't up anymore. It was a lot of fun.

If you can grow out SPS in a pico you are really on point!

Check the over flow area. I have the same tank. What pump are you using? I upgraded mine with a marineland maxi-jet 600. Power head mode 160gph. Circulation pump mode up to 750gph. I use it as my circulation return pump And it's only 2.5 gallons lol the sps love it. Nice tank btw

Thanks. It's been up for about two months. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed at the moment that I'm doing everything right. I do feel like the water isn't turning over enough with the stock pump. Maybe I'll do the same as you.
