The tank I have is the Tom's 3 gal. It comes with a contained skimmer/filter system and a clip on light. It also has a top if you want to use it. I really like it. Have had no problems with the tank. The thing I don't really like is the light fixture itself. The light bulb comes with a hood---it is one unit. In order to change it, you have to replace that whole unit. Not to expensive but a bit environmentally unfriendly. I bypassed that by using a dremel and taking out the glue around the bulb and just replacing the light itself.
You can google the Tom's pico and see a picture. It's a sweet, ready to go system.

Ok, hope this link works---
http://www.tomaquarium.com/

Go to the site, click on products, then go down to the deco kit 3 gallon. That will get you there.

Also, can follow this link on the good Doctors site:

I'm not so good at linking, so I hope this gets you there!
LMK what you think.

Addendum: Looks like the link works.

Thats awsome! how much is it i didnt see a price

 

[oceanparadise1]

o and to the haters who are gonna complain about my post asking for a price even thou its not my thread...............its ok bc hes picking up his pico from me friday

 

[rackyrane]

Scroll all the way down to the bottom on the Doctors site and the price is there along with the replacement parts. I really like my little set up.

I also have a 12 gallon nano with a MH set up. It has a nano skimmer on it and it seems to run pretty well.

 

[Nate82]

very similar to the jbj nice

 

[Nate82]

looks like it's going to be a 10g nano now ha change of plans what would you stock it with as far as inverts fish? i'm debating putting my harlequins in there..

 

[Nate82]

no nvm 5.5 pico so much easier to move yea definitely the 5.5

 

[oceanparadise1]

ha dude when u come over sat u will see there not a HUGE difference between a ten and a 5.5 lol

 

[Nate82]

i'm sticking with the pico phil ha i'm lazy so guys what do you think for a stocklist?

 

[oceanparadise1]

ur a meanie head! it would not be any different to use a 10 vs 5,5 lol they are not that big in size difference

 

[Nate82]

that's alot of coral that i don't wanna break down that much

 

[oceanparadise1]

ok ok dang it now whos gonna take the custom ten gallon

 

[rackyrane]

In my pico I had 2 sexy shrimp, a couple of crabs and a cerith. For corals, just had a couple of small zoo frags and a mushroom. Sand bottom and LR rubble.
