Petco Haul

Check out this nano tank I picked up at Petco. It was an early Christmas present. It will be replacing my 6 gal pico tank.

Thanks, I will post updated pics on when I’m setting it up. Got some TM mixing up right now.

I saw one a bit ago almost did the same thing you did! I would have but we’re moving and don’t need another tank to move lol

Here it is all set up, for now I have a few pulsing Xenias and a RFA inside. The other tank house a bunch of copepods and are now being used to culture and transferred to my DT. I will be adding some zoas, few more RFA and maybe a hammer or frogspawn. As for fish, I was thinking a pair of Wyoming white clowns, cleaner shrimp and a dragonet or 6 line wrasse just to keep the pods in check.

Love this little tank. Interesting setup you got there. Might suggest something other than dragonet or 6 line as they will out grow the tank quickly.

I also added my Aquami Nano power head for circulation. I’m using the SPS Max 100l setting. I went with this setting as it provides more wave modes throughout the day. It helps stir up some of the detritus. I was going to go bare bottom but most of the pods and bristle worms were in the substrate. The substrate used are a white pebble with a mix of aragonite. Reason for the pebble was for the RFA that were in the previous tank, easy for them to hold on to and easy to transfer. I will keep updates on this tank as I go. I do have a IM 30 long that I’m trying to put pictures together for another build thread. This one has been running since May.

Thank you! Total water volume, without rock, is 13.5 gal. I figured with about a 10 gal display it would enough room for either or. I’m open to any suggestions that will help for the long term.

A pair of clowns is a medium bioload by itself. You could get away with a clown goby or firefish. Dragonet will quickly run out of pods and 6 line will become a terror quickly.
