Hi everybody. I came here because I wanted to share my journey into Picco reef keeping; more accurately, because I could not find enough information anywhere, I decided to just go for it and share as I go. The photo and video posted this morning is of the tank 6weeks in cycle. no chemical or additives just a piece of rotting shrimp. The first water change is schedule in October which will be the 8th week (2nd month) here I will change 50% of the water in preparation for the addition of the clean-up crew and yes, I will share photos and videos as often as I can. As it is such a small tank I have not yet decided how to solve the top off issue; one thing that I will not do is but an ato, the last one I had malfunctioned and proceeded to dump 3 gallons of ro/di water into a 3 1/2-gallon nano reef tank and obviously flooding the floor!

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you in Georgia:

I've got small pod culture tanks and was fighting with similar maintaining salinity, when someone reminded me of old school gravity fed ATOs. Might not be for you or everyone, but did want to at least give you an option that is cheap.

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
