Is this the SMALLEST Reef Tank Possible?

monkeyCmonkeyDo · Apr 27, 2022

Finally. A tank for my bluefin tuna!
Lol
I'm gonna pass. I'd rather do a nano or pico than this. Like a custom not a sold as is unit.
U have to place a paper plate under them as they do collect salt creep. Lol.

Have you guys seen these tiny tanks!? I got the chance to look at them this past weekend at Reef-A-Palooza Orlando and they bring a whole new definition to pico tanks!

I love the way these little micro tanks are set up. What do you guys think? What would you put in yours? I'm thinking a sexy shrimp maybe and a rfa or something small. I've seen them with duncans and mushrooms.

Also, would you guys be interested in a group buy for these little tanks through R2R?

Why not just keep the animals in a bag like the good old days.

These are acrylic, right? I probably won't get one, because my cat would just knock it off my desk...

But you wouldn’t have to worry about the seams busting and flooding your house bc it’s acrylic!

not gonna lie the only thing keeping me from buying one right now is the fact we might do a group buy I think having a R2R logo on the sump would be awesome!

Same. If we get a group buy I'm in, if not I'm just buying it outright lol

Love pico tanks, but wish they made these AIO. An external sump makes it more expensive and prone to leaks with the plumbing/extra seams with no real benefit at this size.

Definitely not something that I would bother with. It has an audience nonetheless.

How are you suppose to test the water? by the time your done, there is no more water to test.

Acrylic? One scratch would obstruct the entire panoramic view.

That is for sure the most generous use of the word "panoramic" I have ever heard.

What if we set up a group buy through Reef2Reef for anyone interested in buying one?

I just have to !!
What is water change recommendation - Hourly ? LOL

Anemone_Fanatic · Apr 27, 2022

It'll be hourly if you have that naso tang I mentioned earlier. I wonder if one of those tiny eviota gobies could fit in one, or if the goby police would need to be invented.

What a waste… you guys need a hobby!

The “Brute” mug is a must!!!

If I wasn’t in the middle of a 310 gallon build that’s taking all my money currently plus maintaining my 75g, I would have bought one of these already for the kitchen counter. Now if a group-by comes into play… I can definitely see myself dipping into my 310g build funds to impulse buy it

Does it come with a clip on wristband?

Just finished the scape.

Just purchased one with ato and heater control looking forward to the challenge but I suppose water changes will be quick and easy I plan on using natures ocean nutri sea water since 2.2 gallons only cost 15 dollars plus tax and that should be able to do a good number of water changes when needed and old tank syndrome should never be a problem because it will be easy to remove the livestock to do a complete cleaning when necessary.
